A Matukai engaged in combat with Jedi Padawan Thame Cerulian circa 103 BBY. As a member of the Matukai, an organization of Force adepts who utilized their physical forms as conduits for the Force, this warrior presented a formidable challenge to Cerulian. After their encounter, the Padawan noted in his personal edition of the book The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force that he expressed a strong desire to "never again" confront a Matukai in battle.
The existence of the Matukai was first brought to light in The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force, a reference volume penned by Daniel Wallace and released in 2010.
