Darth Nihilus

In KotOR II, one of the scariest villains are Darth Nihilus, a mysterious and powerful Sith Lord. One of the mysteries lies in his origin. What species is he? A vital clue is his mask, that resembles General Griveous' mask. The masks are both white, they slightly look like skulls, and they both have the vertical stripes over the eyes. The masks are traditionally worn by Kaleesh (Griveous' species) in times of war.

I think that Nihilus is of the Kaleesh species, since he wears the traditional mask. There's really no other clues to confirm or deny this, there is not enough information on the Kaleesh language to know wether that is the language Nihilus speak or not.

What do you think? Am I on to something or not?

Anyway, what's better? Pizza or tacos?

MTFBWY!

Hmmmm, interesting. The only problem with this is that the Kaleesh seem to be a very tall and large species. Another thing is that after you kill him in KOTOR 2, if you have Visas Marr on your team then she will go over to his body and take off his mask. You, the Exile, don't get to see his face but when you ask her about it she says it was simply a man's face. So, he was probably a human. Why he doesn't speak Galactic Basic is a mystery.

Pizza or tacos?

Pizza.

That is a very interesting discovery. I really don't know the Kaleesh species that well, but there is the point when Visas Marr says he's human. But, she can't see anyway because of her species so she could have just assumed he was human. She can sense force presence, and when you kill him he dies leaving no force presence making him human. Just a thought anyway.

Tough decision, but pizza

date Posted: Jul 28, 2008 3:25 PM I kind of think Darth Nihilus may be Nagai. Darth Nihl is Nagai and his name is obviously a homage to Nihilus. Nagai are human...ish and in pics of Nihilus you can see his nose and eye-holes. What does the Nagai language sound like anyways?

date Posted: Sep 01, 2008 1:46 PM Han told Jaba that he was a good human being because My point was that Jabba is no human being at all. During filming they used an actor, then later added a CGI Jabba. That was after Lucas decided Jabba should not be human, but the dialog remained the same. (The last thing you should say to flatter Jabba would be to say he's human)
