Karabbac[2] was a dangerous[3] and deadly predatory beast native to the planet Kalee.[2] Kaleesh hunt Karabbac for more than simply meat[4] and generally kill to demonstrate their bravery,[3] making its pelt for clothing[1][4] and its skulls and bones for fearsome masks, and even using its blood as war paint, drawing lines over their eyes on their masks[2] before battle.[5] They also valued their prey and wouldn't allow anyone near them.[4]
The personal defense instructor Tommet Sozach wore a jacket made from the pelt of a cloned karabbac.[1] The lines carved above Grievous's faceplate represented the patterns of karabbac-blood war paint, including the duranium teeth that resembled the creature's.[2]
