{{Top|leg}}
The '''cidwen''' were black, predatory, winged [[Insect/Legends|insects]] native to the planet [[Keros]] with dangerous beaks and claws. They were introduced to [[Atraken/Legends|Atraken]] when a free-trader left a pair of them behind. By the time of [[6 ABY]], there were a dozen living on the planet. They could grow up to a half-[[Imperial standard meter|meter]] long with a one-meter wingspan. They had grown an appetite for the [[diehard]], an insect that was native to Atraken. Like the [[Aga]] and the [[Avogwi]], they were often tortured, drugged and used as guards by the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]].
