A Terenta, an ancestor to the Terentateks Terenta were two-legged beasts originating from the Tython system, brought into existence by the ancient Je'daii Order. Their genesis can be traced back to the era of the Despot War, when the Je'daii fashioned a being capable of detecting Shikaakwan explosives. Je'daii Master Quan-Jang is credited with being the individual who brought them into existence. However, the Terenta's preferences shifted towards consuming meat saturated with the Force, leading them to hunt down Force users. Eventually, they found themselves abandoned on Bogan, Tython's moon, where they roamed its terrain.
After Xesh was banished, the disgraced Je'daii Daegen Lok enlisted the assistance of the Force Hound to access his Force vision. Consequently, they managed to flee the moon, and a sentinel droid investigating Xesh met its end at the hands of a Terenta. Subsequently, the Je'daii sent a group to investigate, only to be ambushed by several Terenta. However, the Je'daii prevailed, slaying the creatures in the ensuing battle.
