20 Scariest Monsters In Star Wars Canon & Legends

Monsters are a major part of Star Wars lore, existing across the galaxy since A New Hope. Here are 20 of the strongest and most frightening.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although Star Wars is most well known for its mystical Jedi and galaxy spanning narratives, another thing the franchise thrives at is creating compelling monsters. With so many different alien species and planetary cultures scattered throughout the galaxy, there are countless dangerous creatures lurking in dark and unexpected corners.

19 Brain Worm Appearing in the episodes “Legacy of Terror” and “Brain Invaders” of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, what these Geonosian parasites lack in size, they make up for with their frightening abilities. By entering a host’s body, the Brain Worm can take them over completely, controlling their actions and turning both the living and the dead into their servants. Despite this horrifying ability, they are completely unable to survive in cold temperatures.

15 Rathtar Another cephalopod creature, the Rathtar is actually a distant relative of the Sarlacc. Hunting in packs, they devour any living thing that gets in their way with their razor sharp teeth. This sort of behavior was seen during Star Wars: The Force Awakens, where Rey, Finn, and Han Solo were almost all consumed by Rathtars aboard the ship Eravana.

11 Rakghoul Genetically engineered by the Sith in an attempt to create an army, the Rakghoul first appeared as an enemy in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Regardless of their claws and generally monstrous nature, Rakghouls reproduce more like a plague than a monster. One scratch from a Rakghoul can turn a human or other sentient creature into one of them, painfully warping and contorting their bodies.

8 Oggdo Dwelling in the wetlands of the planet Bogano, the Oggdo is a frog-like creature with a tough outer hide. In fact, their hide is so tough that it can even resist the blade of a lightsaber. Dangerous though they may be, an Oggdo’s diet consists of smaller creatures such as bog rats. Their fearsome fighting abilities should not be discounted, however.

5 Roggwart Originating on the planet Mustafar, these beasts boast powerful muscles and intimidating horns. Their tough skin can survive against blasters and even lightsabers, but despite their fearsome appearance, they are often taken as pets. One such pet Roggwart is that of General Grievous as seen in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode “Lair of Grievous,” in which his pet Gor attacks Jedi Master Kit Fisto.
