Unleashing the Dark Side: Amazing Sith Zabrak Cosplay

A cosplayer who is a fan of Star Wars has designed an exceptional Sith Zabrak character that resembles the same species as Darth Maul. The Zabrak race of Maul hails from Dathomir in canon and Iridonia in Legends. They are a group of male warriors who were first introduced by the Sith Lord in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. Other Zabraks have also made appearances in Star Wars, including Savage Opress, Maul's brother, Jedi Masters Agen Kolar and Eeth Koth, and a variety of bounty hunters. The cosplayer, known as unknownasajj, has shared her original Sith Zabrak creation on Instagram.

The cosplayer carefully chose the name Darth Zakaj for her original character (OC) after much contemplation. She revealed that her Sith warrior is from Iridonia, and her cosplay showcases a meticulous representation of a female Zabrak in the Star Wars universe.

It's clear that there is ample opportunity for additional Zabrak characters on the dark side in the Star Wars franchise.

Zabraks, like Maul, have a natural inclination towards the dark side of the Force, making them ideal candidates for Sith training. The Nightsisters of Dathomir, who are also Zabraks, are a prime example of this. Although they do not possess the distinctive horns that Maul and his brothers have, they are equally formidable due to their mastery of magick. With Maul's story coming to a close in the Star Wars universe, there is ample opportunity for other Zabraks to rise to power and take their place on the dark side.

A female Zabrak Sith has yet to be seen in live-action, making the cosplayer's OC a truly unique interpretation of Maul's warrior race. While only a few canon characters with horns exist, such as the bounty hunter Sugi from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and her niece Jas Emari from Chuck Wendig's Star Wars: Aftermath trilogy, introducing a female Zabrak Sith would not only create a memorable Star Wars villain, but also expand the franchise with something entirely new.
