The Vagh Rodiek were Rodians shaped by the Yuuzhan Vong Shaper caste to be deadly war beasts during the Yuuzhan Vong War. Rodia was one of the countless worlds that fell to the extra-galactic Yuuzhan Vong invaders. After destroying the cities of Rodia, the Yuuzhan Vong turned their attention to the violent Rodians. The alien invaders planned to forge their Rodian captives into deadly warbeasts. The Master Shaper Taug Molou was placed in charge of this project.
