Created by the ancient clans of Tiantang Mandalorians, the Bes'Jai'galaar or in Basic: Iron Shriek Hawk was originally a hunting partner. Modeled off of the ancient Jai'galaar, it was later transformed into a powerful scouting, probe and attack droid partner.
The Bes'Jai'galaar can ascend to a height well above 11.3 km (or 37,000 feet) and with their optical camouflage and small size are fairly difficult to spot. They can also swoop down in dive & run attacks - unleashing darts or flame-jets from their moth mounted miniature flame-throwers.
The droid can also beam back data to its operator to be process in the HUD of their helmet or on a wrist-mounted device.
