A creature called a zugorak, alternatively referred to as an apexathor, was an indigenous species originating from the frozen world of Jekara, a planet covered in ice. These beings possessed skin that was purple and gray in coloration, along with tentacles and numerous rows of teeth. During the year 3 ABY, the bounty hunter known as Dengar found himself under assault by a zugorak, only to be rescued by the assassin named Deathstick.
