Deep in the subterranean underground of [[Coruscant]] lurks creatures out of the nightmares of all beings.
Cthons, also known as Troglodytes, were inhabitants of the lowest levels of the [[Coruscant]] Underworld. They were zombie-like humanoids who preyed on living flesh.  


Rumors abound about a race of humans which, after being forced beneath the planet's crust by poverty or crime or a dozen other reasons, lived so long underground that they actually genetically devolved into some sort of mutant creature no longer recognizeable as human.  For many years, these mythical beings were the subject of frightening stories and legends, though for those who actually live close to the crust of the planet, these beings are more than just legend. Cthons, as they are called, are very real, as was discovered by [[Lorn Pavan]] and [[Darsha Assant]] during their flight from the Sith Lord [[Darth Maul]].  The Cthons are cannibalistic humanoids whose time in the darkness has genetically altered them into hideous mutants.  Their albino skin hangs off their bodies in a way that makes their gender indeterminable, and they wear only a loincloth for clothing.  They have stringy, dirty hair and a cavernous, lipless mouth with disgustin yellow teeth ending in a point. Framing their skull-like noses are two eye sockets where the flesh has completely closed over their eyes; beneath the skin, two egg-shaped organs can be seen to move restlessly, independant of one another, while a membranous covering occasionally slips over them. They are disgusting creatures who capture any prey they can and eat it, and are the lurking denizens of the darkest corridors of Coruscant's underground.
Their ancestors were Humans who were banished from the surface for their crimes, subsequently residing in the darkness of the undercity for thousands of years, which genetically changed them into terrifying creatures that became the subject of countless horror stories and nightmares.

Cthon

Species: Cthons
Home Planet: Coruscant

Cthons
Cthons, also known as Troglodytes, were inhabitants of the lowest levels of the Coruscant Underworld. They were zombie-like humanoids who preyed on living flesh.

Their ancestors were Humans who were banished from the surface for their crimes, subsequently residing in the darkness of the undercity for thousands of years, which genetically changed them into terrifying creatures that became the subject of countless horror stories and nightmares.

Visually, they appeared like decaying corpses with loose flaps of flesh, stringy, dirty hair, and a lipless mouth filled with sharp teeth. Skin grew to cover their eyes; there was an egg-like organ where the eye could be seen moving restlessly while sealed within its sockets. If clothed at all, they wore nothing but simple loincloths.

Cthons were also known to use electroshock nets to catch their prey, as demonstrated on Jedi Padawan Darsha Assant and her companions. Cthons can be said to be the analog of the Tarisian Rakghoul of the Taris Undercity and perhaps may be related to the underlevels' corridor ghouls.

Following Operation: Knightfall, one of the few surviving Jedi was Sha Koon who attempted to kill Darth Vader by luring him into an ambush. By using the Force, she manipulated the Cthon into attacking the Sith Lord but they were easily killed by the Sith Lord.
