The Drengir (pronounced /dʒɹɛnˈɡɪər/) were a plant-like species of sentient, amorphous carnivores from the Wild Space planet Mulita who threatened to reap harvest across the Galactic Frontier during the High Republic Era. With twisted tentacles and a maw arrayed with teeth, the avaricious creatures shared a collective consciousness that could dominate and corrupt other minds—even those of Jedi. Those defenders of light and life feared the Drengir as meat was their sole desire, and they spread a darkness so great it perturbed and swayed Jedi Knights into their own collective mind, inflaming the chaos and imbalance upon which the Drengir thrived.

With an aptitude for healing, the Drengir were largely impervious to the scorches of blasters and singes of lightsabers. When seared in half by the blade of a lightsaber, a Drengir could simply reform with two animated bodies. In the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace Disaster, the Drengir spread in search of food, although they lacked the scheming nature and power structure of the anarchistic Nihil marauders that battled the Galactic Republic.

Reflecting hues of green, the plant-like carnivores pursued their purpose of consuming life on worlds such as Batuu and Sedri Minor, deceiving farmers and kidnapping children; ruining crops and carving hideouts underground; ransacking villages and feasting on humans and non-humans alike. In 232 BBY, Jedi Master Sskeer‘s fate became inescapably linked to the Drengir on Sedri Minor.
