[Tournament – The Boonta Gauntlet – Titan Thunder][R16 - Rodia - AI] The Screecher

The Screecher was a hulking avian predator believed to be a distant relative of the Relter of the Koboh system. According to local legend, its ancestors were brought to Dathomir by the Nightsisters as aerial mounts, but generations spent on the hostile world twisted the species into something far more terrifying. Isolated in Dathomir's dark forests and mist-filled ravines, the Screecher evolved into a relentless apex predator, its piercing cries and monstrous silhouette becoming the source of countless nightmares. This particular specimen was captured only after a brutal struggle. Its wings, already scarred from years of combat, had been further clipped in an attempt to keep the beast grounded—a precaution that did little to lessen its ferocity. Even confined, the Screecher remained every bit the nightmare Dathomir had shaped it into.

Before finding its way into the gladiatorial arenas, the Screecher briefly escaped captivity on Rodia, leaving a trail of panic in its wake. For several days, the beast stalked the outskirts of settlements and dense jungle, killing livestock and anything unfortunate enough to cross its path. It was eventually recaptured at great cost and, rather than being destroyed, sold into the arena circuit, where its savage ferocity quickly made it one of the most feared beasts in the pits.
