The marsh haunt had dull, peeling, gray-green skin, camouflaging it in the swampy terrains in which it primarily lived. Its bipedal stance and skull set deeply between its shoulders gave its silhouette the appearance of a humanoid lacking a head. Marsh haunts would occasionally leave their swampy homes to scavenge and acquire small prey in civilized areas. While non-sentient, they worked in loose packs of two to eight creatures to ambush prey, with some of them using their Force powers to scare potential prey toward the rest.
Though they were native to the planet of Abraxin in the Tion Cluster, they could be found on many worlds in the Mid and Outer Rim.
