A night-lether was a type of flying creature found on the Core Worlds planet Alderaan during the High Republic Era. They flew in flocks and navigated by sensing magnetic fields. By 382 BBY, Jedi Knight Azlin Rell and his astromech droid, C-9, used reconfigured comms beacons to keep night-lether flocks from flying into tall buildings on Alderaan. That year, while carrying out the same trick to divert a herd of grass sharks, which also navigated by magnetic fields, away from a trade post on the planet Tiikae, Rell recalled the time he and C-9 had used it to keep night-lethers from flying into tall Alderaan buildings to Jedi Padawan Kevmo Zink.
A night-lether was mentioned in the 2022 young-adult novel The High Republic: Path of Deceit, written by Justina Ireland and Tessa Gratton as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's Phase II.
