Hragscythe


Another or possibly the same hragscythe mauled Mantessa Chekkat when she and her daughter Klerin Chekkat left their bodyguard Ty Yorrick during the chaos caused by the Nihil. Master Elzar Mann tried to calm the creature, using the Force to connect to it and was able to see what had unleashed the animal from the zoo. However, the creature saw Mann's destructive acts from earlier in the day through the same connection, causing the predator to see Mann as a threat. It pounced on him, one of its claws piercing the Jedi's shoulder before it howled in victory. However, Ty Yorrick returned to the fight and killed the attacking hragscythe by cutting two of its heads off with her lightsaber, and using a Force push to shove the third head back along with the animal's dying body.

A hragscythe was in the Wild Wollina's Animal Adventures animal refugee. It was released during Deva Lompop's mission to assist Lanitra and the Genetian Collective in freeing the captive animals. When it attacked bystanders, Sana Starros helped to get them to safety while Lompop attacked it with her poisoned daggers. The Shani disabled the creature and rendered it harmless.
