The personal defense instructor Tommet Sozach wore a jacket made from the pelt of a cloned karabbac. The lines carved above Grievous's faceplate represented the patterns of karabbac-blood war paint, including the duranium teeth that resembled the creature's.
Karabbac were first mentioned in the new Star Wars canon in the eighth issue of the 2016 magazine Star Wars Helmet Collection. They originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where they were first mentioned in the 2005 reference book Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith: The Visual Dictionary, which was written by James Luceno.
