Dathomirian bats, scientifically categorized as Chirodactyls, represented a species of winged, carnivorous organisms that originated from the world of Dathomir.
Among the natives of Dathomir, a particular chirodactyl named Gorgara achieved considerable infamy. The most powerful Nightbrothers underwent a trial, a rite of passage, that involved entering the domain of these beasts.
The debut of Chirodactyls occurred in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, a video game released in 2019 and created by Respawn Entertainment. The design of the chirodactyls during the creation phase drew influence from both bats and owls. Jean-Francois Rey, an artist, produced the concept art for the Chirodactyls.
