Cthons are inhabitants of the lowest levels of the Coruscant Underworld. They are zombie-like humanoids who prey on living flesh.
Their ancestors are Humans who are banished from the surface for their crimes, subsequently residing in the darkness of the undercity for thousands of years, which genetically changed them into terrifying creatures that became the subject of countless horror stories and nightmares.
Visually, they appear like decaying corpses with loose flaps of flesh, stringy, dirty hair, and a lipless mouth filled with sharp teeth. Skin grew to cover their eyes; there is an egg-like organ where the eye could be seen moving restlessly while sealed within its sockets. If clothed at all, they wear nothing but simple loincloths.
Cthons are also known to use electroshock nets to catch their prey, as demonstrated on Jedi Padawan Darsha Assant and her companions. Cthons can be said to be the analog of the Tarisian Rakghoul of the Taris Undercity and perhaps may be related to the underlevels' corridor ghouls.
