    Have there ever been any non-humanlike (not Human, Umbaran, Miraluka, etc.) Sith Lords or Masters? I've heard something about a Kilik Sith, but are there any others?

    Nothing non-humanoid that I can recall, beyond the possible inclusion of the Togorian Morto in Inferno, though he wasn't a Sith Lord.

    Darth Plagueis, and there's an unnamed Mantellian Savrip Sith in Star Wars Legacy.

    I think he means non-humanoid. Like a Quarren would be humanoid (a human could put on a costume and look like it). A non-humanoid would be something like a Killik or Toydarian.

    And no, I don't think we've seen any. Probably because most can't hold lightsabers! :p

    By the Dark nest, Lomi Plo was probably questionably humanoid (As well as not really a Sith...but pretty darn ugly.)

    Vergere may qualify... Avian seems different from Humanoid.

    Vergere is definitely a non-human sith haha it says I misspelled Vergere! I wish the spell-check would recognize if I typed something from Star wars how annoying... Umm Someone already mentioned Darth Plaguesis the WISE! He made Anakin but I don't believe that in my own canon. Lucas cut it for a reason!

    As far as non-human Sith, I think the lack of them is due to the idea that humans are the supreme race, and the Sith embrace the Darwinian idea of "survival of the fittest". I believe it's been stated that humans are the most plentiful species in the galaxy, therefore they are the "fittest". The Dark Side is all about power, and with that power, only the strong survive...i love vodka. The humans are the most plentiful, the strongest and therefore make the best Sith. It's why that Rodian died as a cannon fodder in the first few pages of LEGACY. Man I love that comic...it's great. I loved broken I'm going to read it now.

    There was a few in Jedi vs Sith...The one Twi'lek dark lord...many lesser sith were also nonhuman I believe.

    I think its just a matter of ratio...there are more human Jedi than non, so coincidentally there will likely be more human Sith than non human.

    No, Quarren count. I mean not species who look human, like Umbarans and Zeltrons. I just remembered Kopecz and Kasim from the Bane stuff. The Legacy stuff is definately cool, especially the Savrip. Never knew that.

    Actually, what Lucas cut was Palpatine making Anakin... probably also for a reason. :D

    I'm waiting for the day someone changes Anakin's Wookiee page to "Near Human" and tries to claim that because his father was "the Force" he is half Force/half Human. :p

    You just know its the kind of stupid thing that happens on Wookieepedia sometimes. :rolleyes:

    There's a ton of alien Sith in Legacy. But no, we don't really know of any that are very out there. Plagueis was a Muun...

    There's Vongerella, who may or may not be a Sith and may or may not have been trained by Lumiya.

    Yeah in Legacy there are many sith who are aliens, like the savrip, rodian, nautolian, and two known quarren sith lords. There are also "near-aliens" like twileks (darth Talon), chagrians (Darth Wyrlokk) and nagai (darth Nihl) sith lords, so technically they arent humans.
    As mentioned above, darth plagueis was a muun.
    Darth Nihilus is unknown as of yet, but his race was never specified. His voice was definately not human in nature though.
    Vongerella is a Yuuzhan vong sith, but shes not a sith lord.

    Darth Millennial is said to be a three eyed mutant sith lord?- maybe a gran? It says most likely human on wookiepedia though, so I'm not sure.
    The jedi had way more aliens than the sith it seems, until the legacy period anyway.

    In the Sithesis story from Visionaries when Palpatine is working his kwazy magicks to manipulate the Clone Wars, one of the Sith Lords "looking on" is this scary skullfaced three-eyed guy. He looks pretty wild.

    A Gran Sith Lord, especially in Legacy, would make me poo myself and have nightmares.

    If memory serves, Evil Never Dies hinted that either Cognus or Millenial was a Gran...

    Most likely millenial, it says on wookiepedia that he has 3 eyes.
    The only thing known about Darth cognus is that she is a female, thats about it.

    Is it official (in the EU) that Plagueis made Anakin?

    They were technically dark jedi but Gorc and more specifically Pic from Dark Forces II Jedi Knights where non human, if more in size. Pic was like an evil looking yoda, and Gorc was Wampa Sized but green and not furry.

    Edit: Holly mother of soup, its been ages since i posted anything...the power, it feels...good.

    IIRC, Gorc and Pic have been retconned into being Gammorean and Kowakian Monkey Lizard mutants.

    Is this actually still Canon.....seeing as how we "know it from a cover of a book that never got released?

    Or is there another source?
