As you exit the tunnel and go up the ramp to the docking bay and the Ebon Hawk, Deesra the Twi’lek Jedi will speak to warn you about the terentatek, creatures born of the dark side whose prey are the Jedi:

KotOR Icon Dialog.png Deesra: Padawan, a word, if I may. There are many rumors about your most recent meeting with the Jedi Council. There is talk that they are sending you on a mission to help us against Malak and the Sith.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. How do you know the Council gave me a mission? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. I don’t think the Council would want me to speak openly of this mission. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. My discussions with the Council are none of your business!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Deesra: I saw you going into the Council chambers. You were in there for some time. I naturally assumed the Council had given you a task to perform.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Deesra: Please understand that I am not asking you to reveal anything that could endanger the Order or the Republic. Whatever task the Council has given you is for your ears, not mine. I only want to wish you well, and to warn you to be careful. There are many evils out there, many dangers. The Sith are not the only minions of the dark side.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. What could be more dangerous than the Sith? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. What are you talking about? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. I can look after myself.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Deesra: Yes, your skill and prowess are already well known throughout this Academy. But even you would be wise to heed my warnings.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Deesra: Master Dorak has been training me to succeed him as Chronicler here in the Academy. In my studies I have come across tales of creatures that are born of the dark side, monsters of pure evil. The worst of these abominations is the terentatek, a beast that feeds on the blood of those who are strong in the Force. Over the centuries, many Jedi have fallen to their ravenous hunger.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. What makes this creature so dangerous? KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. It’s hard to believe an animal could pose a threat to a Jedi. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. Why are you telling me this?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Deesra: You have completed your initial training in a fraction of the normal time. The Force is very strong with you. I’m afraid you might become a target for these creatures.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Deesra: The terentatek is a predator, and we Jedi are its prey. They are incredibly strong, with a primal cunning. And they have an in-born resistance to the Force. There are some who believe the terentatek is a monster bred by the ancient Sith, and spread throughout the galaxy to destroy the Jedi. Fortunately, the terentatek is quite rare. They only dwell in the most dangerous and darkest of places. In fact, one has not been seen in nearly forty years.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 1. Sounds like they’re extinct. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Then why are you worried about them now?
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Deesra: This is not the first time the terentatek have vanished for long periods of time. Many believe they can lay dormant for years, only to rise and hunt when the power of the dark side waxes full. I fear Malak’s rise may have woken these creatures from their dormant state. Once the Sith are beaten, I would not be surprised if the Council organized another Great Hunt to try and exterminate them.
KotOR Icon Dialog.png 2. Thanks for the warning. I’ll be careful. KotOR Icon Dialog.png 3. I can’t waste time listening to your fables!
KotOR Icon Dialog.png Deesra: A final warning as you go, Padawan: do not underestimate the terentatek. If you do, you may suffer the same fate as those who disappeared after the Great Hunt.
