When I heard the words “raid shadow legends” I just tapped on the right side of the screen as fast as I could. Btw some dude called starspark studios just replied saying that the end of the sponsorship is at 2:22, so if you’re at the sponsorship, just skip to 2:22.
The Zabrak has always been one of my favorite species because of their high pain threshold and Darth Maul is arguably the prime example. His harsh training under Darth Sidious and martial prowess made him a powerful foe in battle.
Darth Maul was prime example of using Force to amplify wielders own power to horrifyingly high levels. Something Kreia would most likely approved and harshly reprimanded his obsessive personality.
But IMHO Darth Maul was simply as trapped and in pain as Darth Vader was. Obi Wan discovered that in the final battle he had everything Maul cared about taken from him just as everything from Obi Wan was (Qui Gon Jinn, Satine Kryse, others). So at Maul's end, Obi Wan truly felt compassion for him. Probably said he would have made an incredible Jedi had things been different. I could have called you friend.
Why would you. Place is a helscap. Their Jedi mid witches and it’s a full plant of cultists exstreamist who kill all outsiders by using their bare fist infused with bazerker/resurrection magic.
Fascinating. Shame the Zabraks and Twi’leks never had any political alliances, they would have made formidable allies against the slavers and the Mandalorians that attacked each species. Not mention they are kind of sister species being engineered from the same machine.
I love these lore videos, they're incredibly informative and I'm glad you explained the difference between Dathomirian and Iridonian Zabrak. I'd love to see the twi'lek or even wookiees next.
In canon there are no differences at all. Dathomirian Zabraks are merely a subspecies. In legends however, Dathomirians are a hybrid species between Zabrak’s and humans.
Thanks for clarifying Maul's backstory. I had thought his mother gave her son to Sidious as his padawan as a symbol of their alliance. It makes sense that Sidious kidnapped Maul as a child.
I never knew there were artificial races in Star Wars. Or that Dathomerian Zabraks were influenced in this way, i mean it was obvious from the clone wars series but I never knew there was a split.
Most of this isn't current canon; everything about the Rakata is from Legends. There's nothing wrong with keeping up the Legends information but it's pretty sloppy to not distinguish those sources.
Roughly 60%+ of the galaxy is "artificial" races I'm sure. The Precursor empire of the SW Galaxy had the tech and know-how to re-arrange star systems and terraform planets with roughly the same casual disregard you might re-arrange furniture in your home. I'm sure about half of the galaxy's species are, in some way, the direct result of their work. This same empire used the Rakata as slaves until their disappearance, at which point the Rakata became the big boys in town. And the Rakata then also created new species of their own. (Thanks be to our Rakatan overlords for creating the perfect Star Wars waifu race: Twi'leks) So really, with the possible exception of yoda's species (I think they are confirmed to pre-date the Rakata as a species according to Legends) and potentially humans as well, most of the SW galaxy is "life-seeded" species.
Well the Wookies are also a creation of the Rakata as they have said Kashykk is not their native homeworld. It's beginning to look like perhaps the Empire's "human only" stance is due in part to humans being the only naturally evolved race. Hear me out. It is said in Legends that there was a great ancient war between species on Coruscant. The Taug and the Zhell which were human. The Zhell drove out the Taug who in turn became the precursor of the Mandalorians. The Zhell remained on what is modern Coruscant. So the humans naturally evolved while other races were "genetically engineered" by the Rakata. It's also noted in Legends that the Iridonian had developed hyperspace technology on their own as well as the Hergalic (sentient dolphins, seals, etc) and that by the time of the Ancient Republic both were seeking contact.
@@KRYMauL The Sith WERE a species, they didn't turn into it because of the dark side Ajunta Pall and several other Dark Jedi landed on Korriban after being exiled from Republic space, they found the Sith living there, Ajunta Pall killed their king and the Sith praised him and the Dark Jedi as Gods Pall became the first "Dark Lord of the Sith" and started the first Sith Empire
my two favrotie races to play on SWTOR is 1st: Zabrak and 2nd: Cathar i fine both of the races interesting cause both are a warrior race and have deal with some type of invasion of their home world which lead to them being bounty hunters and force wielders ect. both have a lot of potential to produce great storylines for movie ideas besides the ones when know now
@@TactiClaus I not only understand it, i enjoy it. But where Twi'leks are the "hot blue/green/red alien babes" of Star Wars, Zabrak are the "alien tomboy" race, which has its own appeal.
@@ADGZone oh man, you just started the trilogy, as in your first time? I played through the trilogy for the first time maybe 4 months ago, and I dont want to build it up or overhype it, but it was one of the best video game experiences I've had in my life. The trilogy has its flaws like everything else, but if you can immerse yourself into the world, the games are some of the best out there. I really wish I could go back and experience them all for the first time again. The music for the games already has this like nostalgic feeling for me and side note the soundtrack is one of the best I've heard from a video game recently. Hope you enjoy the trilogy!
@@cdelatorre420 I have watched ME content for a few years, but this is now the first time that I could actually play it for myself. I'm well aware of what happens on the games later on, but I am just enjoying the games. I've been playing unhealthy ammounts of it, in just a few days I completed the game two times
Bones of babies are quite soft. It takes some years for them to get really hard and when people get really old, bones get harder and harder, but also at bit brittle. For example while performing reanimation actions it´s quite common for ribs of grown ups to be broken (especially if the one who performs the actions is not really trained), but it´s really difficult to break those of children. It´s not a far stretch to assume that it works similarly with Zabraks, so their horns are probably quite soft and flexible. Other mammals often have some kind of thin, furry skin covering their horns while they´re growing.
You forgot that the First and Original species that inhabited Dathomir were the “Kwa” who also scioned the Birth of the Rakata infinte Empire, byintroducing them to Stargates.
Well the Kwa were using ancient "stargates" but have devolved into the Kwi and have sadly forgotten how to use the gates. Republic and later Imperial scientists attempted to understand the stargates but had no real luck with it. It uses a form of hyperspace and it was used by the Republic to send a team. But it's unknown how it can be built again. It implies a force user is needed but it doesn't say how. But if all tech in the ancient past was force driven, and only a few Jedi remain well doesn't look good to ever learn or use these gates.
Thank the Force. Now the whole Dathomirian Zabrak thing finally makes sense to me! I was confused for the longest time of their skin color, male/female difference, tattoo or natural born facial marking....
I really like my head cannon that’s similar. Since he was so powerful in the dark side, and was given to Palpatine, they revered his position as a dark lord of the Sith by making his tattoos red like his lightsaber.
To be fair, the Zabrak warrior culture, especially in the colonies, evolved into one that strove for excellence in the fields they pursue as individuals.
The horns grow directly out of their skull? But what about that ancient and incredibly humiliating Zabrak medical condition: Zabrak Scalp Necrosis? It is said that it would make their horns fall out.
This is actually really helpful dude! I’m working on a story about an OC Zabrak Grey Jedi in between episodes 3 and 4, so this is helping me fill in a lot of lore gaps!
You should probably listen to him. And it's not just the adverbs. There are already two spelling mistakes that I can find in what you've written. EDIT: You even edited it lol.
I really enjoyed the video and would love see more of the Nightsister Magic and the Sith Magic explained as well its actually my favorite subjects cause its so mysterious and has so much depth to it.
I love your videos! You have expanded the Star Wars universe and its amazing characters. Please don't stop making amazing content. I'm sure you've received this request many times and I'm almost certain under taking such a request would require a great deal of work and editing. But I and many other Metanerds would love to see a complete history of Darth Bane and the rule of two came to be. Thanks again for everything you do.
The Zabrak really are maybe my favorite alien species in Star Wars, just because of how convoluted they are. I mean, you've got at least 3 different names for the species, 2 homeworlds, an entire human hybrid subspecies, 2 members of the species being introduced in the first prequel with 0 acknowledgement of it. Whenever I'm given the option to play a Zabrak, I take it. A typo in KOTOR almost created a whole separate species!
@@arr0w769 no, this is not the case in canon at all. In canon, Dathomirian Zabraks are a subspecies of Zabrak, not a human hybrid. Humans and Zabraks cannot even reproduce in canon. Canon Dathomirians are 100% Zabrak, 0% human. In Legends they are a human hybrid, in canon they are not.
Out of all the channels that cover Star Wars material on TH-cam, this one is my favorite. You have the best long format videos and the best selection of ship/droid videos available in my opinion.
Maaan, THIS was REALLY GOOD!!! I loved learning about the rogue jedi who started the female sect!! I'd like to see a comic book story on ALL of this!! Would be a fun historical story!!
Fun Fact: To explain the existence of the red/orange/Sith style skinned Zabraks in Star Wars the Old Republic despite Dathomir not having the presence of the Nightsisters, the Old Republic encyclopedia states that these Zabraks were divergent Zabraks from colonies established in the Outer Rim fairly close to the Sith Capital of Dromund Kaas.
THANK YOU this is the explanation I’ve been searching for! It never made sense and honestly was probably just an oversight on their part, but I’m glad they came up with something!
OH MY GOD, That's what that movie was! I watched that on a VHS from my local library like three times when I was a kid! It was so weird. Edit: It may have been Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure
In the April Fool's joke perpetuated by Star Wars dot com in 2006, wherein the world from Willow, Andowyne, was listed as a part of Star Wars canon, it was suggested that Balmora, the evil sorceress, was also a Night Sister. I've even seen it suggested that she was the older sister of Charal who stranded her with the marauders before leaving to conquer Andowyne. Obviously not even canon in the old EU, but a fun tidbit nonetheless.
Finally now I understand it, thanks for explaining it well dude, I’ve seen other videos about this but none I can recall explain it well. I did not know dathomirians were a hybrid species between humans and zabraks.
Please do more "The Dark Side of..." species videos as they are so good and interesting to find out things I didn't know about some species. I really enjoy all your videos so far and hope you keep up the good work.
In canon, she is not a human. Dathomirians in canon are not a hybrid species at all, they are a mere Zabrak subspecies. This video mixed legends and canon lore fore some reason.
Tried to kill Darth Bain in vain! 😉 Had Bain won his final duel being older, his power fading, why train anew? Rule of 2 only improves if the master's killed at the height of power. Quite the weakness!
It's important to note that SWTOR is not canon so the story of the Zabrak being created by Ashaa is Legends. I feel like that distinction should always be made.
Hey that’s be kinda cool ngl, like imagine how’d that help you in combat, just jab them with your horns, like what savage did to that Jedi who’s name I forget.
In canon, Dathomirian Zabraks are not human hybrids. They are fully Zabrak. Dathomirians are a mere subspecies of Zabrak, not a human/zabrak hybrid species.
It always annoyed me that TCW made Dathomir into some sort of spooky dark side aligned planet because of the night sisters despite the fact that the night sisters are supposed to be the minority of the people who use the force on Dathomir the light side witchs are both more numerous and more prominent, but then again TCW fucking up the lore is pretty much par for the course
But the Dark Side is more powerful in the physical sense. I could see the planet having a Darkness to it that the Light Side switches are constantly fighting against. Or maybe even that the planet became corrupted by the Dark Magic or some dark Ritual by the Night Sisters.
It wasn't just the Clone Wars. After the Courtship of Princess Leia, what media I've seen (including the game Empire at War: Forces of Corruption) just glosses over any non-Dark Side forcewielder.
@@classofrass5752 yeah sure and if that's what TCW had said I might have been fine with it at least for the sake of TCW by itself it wouldn't fit in with the wider continuity at all but then nothing in TCW really does, my real problem with it is that it's indicative of TCW's insultingly basic views on morality which I might be okay with if it was just a simple children's show but it and it's fans constantly trying to portray it as some fucking incredibly deep masterpiece when in reality it's just kind of an average children's show and TCW's incredibly simplistic view of morality is incredibly troubling considering the subject matter is the clone wars which is very much supposed to be a morally ambiguous conflict when either side is a clear-cut good guy or bad guy and this problem is especially evident with the clones who pretty much all have the same cookie cutter good guy action hero personality whereas clones prior to this had been portrayed in a much more varied and interesting morally gray fashion and it doesn't just stop there basically everything that previously in Star wars had been portrayed in an interesting nuanced way becomes an incredibly simplistic good versus bad issue like turning Ryloth from a a planet who's corrupt leadership sells its own people into slavery for a profit into being an unambiguous good guy victim of the separatists, or The mandalorian civil war being changed from a nuanced conflict about why people fight what they fight for and what isn't isn't justified in war and conflict into being just an insultingly simple peace good war bad conflict, or deciding that because Dathomir is where the night sisters live they have to change it from a fairly normal jungle world into a creepy red sky hellscape and that's just off the top of my head I'm pretty sure there are lots of other examples as well
@@nickmalachai2227 what are you talking about plenty of stories post courtship use the light side witches in fact I'd say they're more used than the dark side witches prior to TCW coming along and fucking things up sure some sources do focus on the night sisters but TCW goes out of its way to portray the night sisters as the ruling group on Dathomir when they're supposed to be small outcast groups, also forces of corruption is notoriously fucky with Canon so I wouldn't say that that's a good source to use

THANK YOU this is the explanation I’ve been searching for! It never made sense and honestly was probably just an oversight on their part, but I’m glad they came up with something!
Perfect video please do more like this perhaps for cereans?(Ki-Audi-mundi species)
yeah that is definitely coming
Straight gas mate you and many other star wars youtubers are a massive help in writing my own star wars story thank you
The Zabrak species is one of my favorites. They are so awesome.
Thanks for the video.
I’m glad I just bought premium only to have every TH-camr quote ads within their videos. 🤦♂️
Can’t blame the creators considering how YT has been treating them.
Zabrak are awesome, Kao Cen Darachs lightsaber battle in the SW:TOR Trailer is the best
lightsaber combat I've ever seen, such a badass! 💪
OH MY GOD, That's what that movie was! I watched that on a VHS from my local library like three times when I was a kid! It was so weird.
Edit:
It may have been Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure
Could you do the Sullustans or/and Kaleesh? I love those guys!
When started doing his ad for the game I subconsciously got my index ready for the skip ad button.
In the April Fool's joke perpetuated by Star Wars dot com in 2006, wherein the world from Willow, Andowyne, was listed as a part of Star Wars canon, it was suggested that Balmora, the evil sorceress, was also a Night Sister. I've even seen it suggested that she was the older sister of Charal who stranded her with the marauders before leaving to conquer Andowyne. Obviously not even canon in the old EU, but a fun tidbit nonetheless.
We all knew it was going to happen someday guys...
Finally now I understand it, thanks for explaining it well dude, I’ve seen other videos about this but none I can recall explain it well. I did not know dathomirians were a hybrid species between humans and zabraks.
But have you ever hear the tragedy of Raid the Shadow Legend?
Please do more "The Dark Side of..." species videos as they are so good and interesting to find out things I didn't know about some species. I really enjoy all your videos so far and hope you keep up the good work.
Thank you! Great video.
One of my favorite SW species.
Zabrak are some of my favorite; interesting design, lots of variation, super badass, and very interesting lore.
I love this video and love zabrak didn't know that they were created by the Rakata and would love to see a video on twi'lek
yeah that is coming on day
Thank you Raid for supporting all my favorite content creators.
Raid sucks
@@osirisjohnson5165 the game? Oh yeah 100%
I just like that they give people I watch money so I keep getting content.
Subbed just for this series man. Please keep doing SW species videos. Do Rattataki next please. Awesome video!
They always were my favorite species to play in the Star Wars: Saga Edition RPG
A favorite species of mine is the Rattataki..... before Asajj Ventress's origin was changed to Zabrak/Human at least. I hope they come back.
They do show up in Resistance Reborn, but we don't know how they look
In canon, she is not a human. Dathomirians in canon are not a hybrid species at all, they are a mere Zabrak subspecies. This video mixed legends and canon lore fore some reason.
Tried to kill Darth Bain in vain! 😉 Had Bain won his final duel being older, his power fading, why train anew? Rule of 2 only improves if the master's killed at the height of power. Quite the weakness!
'blizzkrieg'd Korriban '' that give me a hell of laught hahah
You were the chosen one! It was said that you would ignore R:SL not join it! Bring balance to TH-cam, not leave it in agony!
Don't let them turn you against me! Once I have the credits, we can rule the galaxy, and finally have peace.
@@MetaNerdzLore seriously though, look up raidshadolovania, that video blows the whole R:SL scam wide open.
I'd love to see a video about the Muunilinst Banking Clan.
Having two hearts if you could get them to work properly together would make you way stronger faster and a number of other improvements.
But getting dumped would hurt twice as much. 😖
Great Scott, Raid Shadow has invaded MetaNerdz! There is no escaping it!
They are everywhere!
Fxxx Raid Shadow game!
If they sponsor alot more it will be order 66 all over again
My thoughts exactly....
I'm binge watching all your videos
Really informative stuff, I appreciated that you covered Legends as well! One small error, The Phantom Menace was released in ‘99 my man, not ‘01.
Loving the Complete breakdowns!
awsome vid! can you do some of the lesser-known species such as ishi tib or karkarodon? :D
I've alredy told u this I love ur vids keep up the great work 😄😄
can you do the kaleesh? they dont get enough love
It's important to note that SWTOR is not canon so the story of the Zabrak being created by Ashaa is Legends. I feel like that distinction should always be made.
4:28 when they turn 12 years old, they get pieces of _bone_ growing out of their head more? And I thought hair everywhere was bad...
No more different than you growing in height with age
Hey that’s be kinda cool ngl, like imagine how’d that help you in combat, just jab them with your horns, like what savage did to that Jedi who’s name I forget.
Kian Long thx
say goodbye to sleeping on pillows
This is a very very good and informative video
Ichor is not pronounced "eye-cor". It is ih-kur.
Zabraks are just such a cool people...😊
Calm down about the sponsors y’all that’s how channels are able to stay up and going
Great video! I have always been so interested in the Zantac species and wanted to know so much about them, great job!
Zantac. What about heartburn?😂😂😂 lol I tease!
I think Savage & Maul, are not 'True' Zabraks; but rather are dathomirians, a highly hybridized species/half breed
yeah I get into that toward the end
@@MetaNerdzLore I watched 👍 maul often confused with a pureblood zabrak; understandably
Half Human an Half Zabrak just like Ventress
15:58:
“Legends Say”
Idk if you meant to or not, but I like the way how made it sound like “a legend” instead of “Legends”.
Yeah that was on purpose glad you liked it
The main reason I’m interested in zabraks is because the female zabrak character in Star Wars Jedi knight Jedi academy is thicc
I have a Zabrak in SWTOR that's based on her. We just need BioWare to add tattoo body art to make it more JKJA authentic.
I applaud your taste.
TFW no dummy thicc Zabrak GF to cuddle.
Perhaps the Rakatta kidnapped regular humans and then used them as a template from which to design these other humanoids?
In canon, Dathomirian Zabraks are not human hybrids. They are fully Zabrak. Dathomirians are a mere subspecies of Zabrak, not a human/zabrak hybrid species.
Great video! So much research must’ve gone into this
Wasnt the phantom menace released in 1999 not 2001 19:29
lmao i noticed that too
Nothing less then the quality come to expect from your vids here. Absolutely awesome bro. Love it.
It always annoyed me that TCW made Dathomir into some sort of spooky dark side aligned planet because of the night sisters despite the fact that the night sisters are supposed to be the minority of the people who use the force on Dathomir the light side witchs are both more numerous and more prominent, but then again TCW fucking up the lore is pretty much par for the course
But the Dark Side is more powerful in the physical sense. I could see the planet having a Darkness to it that the Light Side switches are constantly fighting against. Or maybe even that the planet became corrupted by the Dark Magic or some dark Ritual by the Night Sisters.
@@classofrass5752 no its not, its just easier to use
It wasn't just the Clone Wars. After the Courtship of Princess Leia, what media I've seen (including the game Empire at War: Forces of Corruption) just glosses over any non-Dark Side forcewielder.
@@classofrass5752 yeah sure and if that's what TCW had said I might have been fine with it at least for the sake of TCW by itself it wouldn't fit in with the wider continuity at all but then nothing in TCW really does, my real problem with it is that it's indicative of TCW's insultingly basic views on morality which I might be okay with if it was just a simple children's show but it and it's fans constantly trying to portray it as some fucking incredibly deep masterpiece when in reality it's just kind of an average children's show and TCW's incredibly simplistic view of morality is incredibly troubling considering the subject matter is the clone wars which is very much supposed to be a morally ambiguous conflict when either side is a clear-cut good guy or bad guy and this problem is especially evident with the clones who pretty much all have the same cookie cutter good guy action hero personality whereas clones prior to this had been portrayed in a much more varied and interesting morally gray fashion and it doesn't just stop there basically everything that previously in Star wars had been portrayed in an interesting nuanced way becomes an incredibly simplistic good versus bad issue like turning Ryloth from a a planet who's corrupt leadership sells its own people into slavery for a profit into being an unambiguous good guy victim of the separatists, or The mandalorian civil war being changed from a nuanced conflict about why people fight what they fight for and what isn't isn't justified in war and conflict into being just an insultingly simple peace good war bad conflict, or deciding that because Dathomir is where the night sisters live they have to change it from a fairly normal jungle world into a creepy red sky hellscape and that's just off the top of my head I'm pretty sure there are lots of other examples as well
@@nickmalachai2227 what are you talking about plenty of stories post courtship use the light side witches in fact I'd say they're more used than the dark side witches prior to TCW coming along and fucking things up sure some sources do focus on the night sisters but TCW goes out of its way to portray the night sisters as the ruling group on Dathomir when they're supposed to be small outcast groups, also forces of corruption is notoriously fucky with Canon so I wouldn't say that that's a good source to use
Using SWTOR for lore makes me respect this channel immensely
Me when I see metanerdz talk about raid: YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE
It was said you would refuse the cheap blanket sponsors! Not join them!
@@secretbaguette bring balance to the sponsorship not leave it unbalanced
@@samsarex4318 *sweats in running out of meme*
Wow, I was just waiting for a real video on the Zabrak
Lucas has already decanonized the sequel trilogy.
thank you for making this vid! its wonderful to have all the lore and biology facts in one place, and the video is well-structured, nor dragged out or boring. liked and subscribed:)
Fun fact: some female dathomirians can also have horns and look more similar to zabraks
These are helping me so much in making campaigns for edge of the empire
It sucks to see you promoting such a trash casino fest game but gotta make money somehow, good video man.
The legend of raid shadow legends, brought to you by raid shadow legends. Lol
I am a HUGE fan of the zabraks and I’m SOO glad this video was made!! My nerd heart is exploding!!! Everything about them is just so awesome lol
I know you gotta advertise for money, but im very disappointed that you guys went with the pricks at Raid Shadow Legends.
Money is money
I hate Raid as well. But They pay well in a time channels are scrambling for sponsors.
@@area609joe2 yeah i know, im just disappointed. Theres gotta be _someone_ else out there
Number1Irishlad I got something to make you smile. th-cam.com/video/gLOAsWrE1uw/w-d-xo.html enjoy Around 19:00 best quote about raid being scum
@@area609joe2 ah ive seen it, i love Karl! I kinda thought raid was annoying before, but him going into depth about their contracts and shit made me really really dislike raid, and feel bad for the people i watch that are sponsered by them
