| abstract | - Though they began life as non-sapient creatures, a droch could gain true sapience after draining enough intelligence from a host. Drochs could mimic the host's electrochemical fields and tissue composition, allowing them to avoid detection by essentially becoming part of the host while drawing life from them. Drochs grew and became more intelligent with each host they killed and larger drochs could absorb life through smaller ones, without having to take a host directly. When exposed to light on Nam Chorios, they were sluggish and infertile due to the light being altered by the native tsil crystals. However, once in darkness, they moved quickly and reproduced at an alarming rate. The sun did not affect them on any other planet due to the absence of the tsils. As they gained intelligence with each host they killed, if they were to either kill a large crowd of people, or a few Jedi, they would achieve the rank of sapient. It is unknown if once they achieved this they would be disgusted at what they had done, and attempted to stop, because no one was willing to be part of the experiment.
