Anzati

The Anzati are a unique and ancient alien species in the Star Wars universe, first introduced in the Star Wars Legends series of novels. They are known for their longevity, with members of their species living thousands of years, and their skill in combat and stealth, making them effective assassins and predators. Anzati are distinctly characterized by their humanoid appearance, with two tentacles hidden in their cheeks that can be extended to intake the "soup" or essence from their victims, forming a central part of their diet.

Though they appear mild and harmless, their predatory nature becomes evident once provoked or hunting. Home to the planet Anzat, the Anzati are often feared due to folklore portraying them as vampires, given their feeding habits. However, they also play a significant role in the universe's lore as trainers of Jedi and Sith hideaways. Their skills in telepathy, precognition, and manipulation of ‘The Force’ present them as formidable beings in Star Wars lore.
