RecentStar Warsstories have explored theHigh Republic Era , the golden age of the Jedi and the Republic . This was a clip when the light of the Jedi shone brilliantly across the galaxy - but all light hurl a tail , and the Jedi found themselves opposed by terrifying sorry side monsters .

The Jedi accidentally awoke one of the Sith ’s ancient allies , a race of carnivorous plant - animate being called Drengir . stiff in the dark side of the Force , the Drengir plowshare a dark side beehive mind that even Jedi can not always stand - with some of the mighty Jedi almost subsumed into the Drengir hive mind .

The Center Of The Hive Mind

The Great Progenitor was the first of the Drengir , and it is the centre of the beehive mind . A horrific and power - thirsty monster , the Great Progenitor organise an alliance with the Sith around 2,500 years before the Skywalker saga , and they worked together for a time , until the Sith finally betrayed it . The Sith useddark side artifactsto bind the Great Progenitor , but it was freed when the Jedi unwittingly destroyed them .

The Drengir beehive mind is absolutely centered on the Great Progenitor .

He gradually begins to undergo a disgraceful metamorphosis , morphing into a plant creature himself .

I ’ve long mistrust that the Drengir were not just ally of the Sith , but rather that they created them .

The creation of Sithspawn is one such ability , but this dark theory suggests genuine transformation is another , with a Sith Lord learn how to transform a mammalian being into a flora - like puppet .
