Chiaki

A Chiaki is a fictional alien animal featured in the Star Wars multimedia franchise. It is part of the original Expanded Universe continuity and made appearances in the original Star Wars ongoing comic book series published by Marvel Comics. It first appeared in Star Wars #76 in October, 1983 in a story titled "Artoo-Detoo to the Rescue".

The Chiaki was a massive sea serpent native to the planet Iskalon. It had green scaly skin, with a yellow-covered underbelly. During the Galactic Civil War, shortly before the collapse of the First Galactic Empire, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa traveled to Iskalon where they recruited an angry young warrior named Kiro to their cause. While tending to their dead upon one of the floating platforms, they were shocked to find a Chiaki rise up from the depths of the sea to attack them. All three heroes survived the encounter.
