Rozzum The Rozzum were a species of sentient aliens who came from another dimension than that of the known universe . They had ties to the Order of the Terrible Glare , a group of dissident Jedi Knights formed during the Pius Dea Crusades . In ancient times , several Rozzum were stranded on PL - 40112 - CE - 021105 , a planet of the Wild Space . Some time later , during the Empire ' s reign , Imperial surveyors encountered that group of Rozzum after having inadvertently awakened them . The Imperials allied with the local people to fight the monsters off , which left only two survivors . During the Galactic Civil War , the young Luke Skywalker encountered Rozzum on Garn , where he had been lured by Rur , the last High Shaman of the Terrible Glare . Biology and appearance . The Rozzum were a sentient species the members of which could take a wide array of forms . Some had bat - like wings , others looked like multi - eyed octopi . Still others resembled reptiles or giant insects . They moved by skittering and fluttering around on the floor . They had the uncanny ability to invade another being ' s mind through the mouth , with the consequence of instilling a fearful nausea into them . Society and culture . While they appeared as monstrous beasts , the Rozzum did possess a language of their own , a trait associated with the ability to reason and understand abstract concepts . Non - Rozzum have been able to speak that language fluently , as easily as any of the more common idioms such as Galactic Basic Standard or Huttese . History . The Rozzum evolved in a dimension separate from the galaxy ' s own . Discovered by the former Jedi Master Carol Kapekos during his meditations on Garn in the wake of the Pius Dea Crusades , Kapekos named the bizarre race " Rozzum " using a word from the Sunesi language . Believing he could control of the Rozzum Kapekos , or High Shaman Rur , ordered the Shamans of the Order of the Terrible Glare to construct a great pyramid over the gate that led to the Night Realm where they dwelt . Trained to hunt and eat Jedi , the Rozzum obeyed the Shamans while simultaneously corrupting their minds . When the Terrible Order was defeated in battle by the Jedi Order , the Rozzum retreated back to the Night Realm from whence they came . At some point in history , they became connected with the Order of the Terrible Glare , a splinter group of the Jedi Order formed when the Jedi High Council withdrew to Ossus during the Pius Dea Crusades of the Galactic Republic . In ancient times , one group of Rozzum crash landed on the planet of PL - 40112 - CE - 021105 in the Salfrem system within the Wastes region of Wild Space . Many a century later , under the reign of Palpatine , surveyors from the Galactic Empire set foot on PL - 40112 - CE - 021105 , where they inadvertently awakened the long - lost Rozzum from their slumber . Both the near - Human s living on the planet and the Imperials were forced to work together to drive them off , an action that only left two survivors : the Human - Sephi hybrid Bertroff Hissa and Imperial Commander Quarsh Panaka . During the Galactic Civil War , the Jedi trainee Luke Skywalker was lured on the planet Garn by Rur , High Shaman of the Terrible Glare and last member of his order . When Skywalker entered Rur ' s lair , he was assaulted by a group of Rozzum who squirmed out of the dark . The Rozzum induced unspeakable horror in Skywalker ' s mind , but they ended up leaving him alone so he could meet Rur . Rozzum in the galaxy . Typically , the Jedi Shadow s , who devoted themselves to destroy anything and everything connected with the Sith , were taught how to speak the Rozzum language among their many unusual skills . Behind the scenes . The Rozzum were created by Abel G . Peña , who first mentioned them through their language in the 2008 sourcebook " Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide " . In 2013 , Peña first described the Rozzum as inter - dimensional monsters in part 1 of " " , a series of reference articles currently ongoing at the StarWars . com blogs . He explicitly pointed out the connection between the two sources on the Jedi Council Forums . In the same post , Peña hinted that the Rozzum may be related to Waru and the Charon , other inter - dimensional beings who appeared in the earlier Expanded Universe . He also implied that the aforementioned aliens may all have to do " Cult Encounters of the Star Wars Universe " , a yet unpublished article written by Joseph Bongiorno and Rich Handley . Some time later , Peña revealed that the Rozzum were in fact the monsters Luke Skywalker encountered in " Blind Fury ! " , a 1982 " Star Wars " comic story written by Alan Moore .
