Skiriantis is a fictional creature from the animated television series Star Wars Rebels. It is a large, avian-like beast that inhabits the planet Malachor. Skiriantis are known for their distinctive appearance, featuring dark, leathery wings and a sharp, hooked beak. They are often depicted as solitary hunters, preying on smaller creatures.

In the series, a skiriantis plays a minor role in the episode "Twilight of the Apprentice." Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger encounter a skiriantis while exploring the Sith temple on Malachor. The creature attacks them, and they are forced to defend themselves. The skiriantis is ultimately defeated by Ezra, who uses his newly acquired dark side abilities. The encounter highlights the dangerous nature of Malachor and the challenges faced by the Rebel heroes on their mission. While not a central antagonist, the skiriantis serves to underscore the hostile environment of the planet and the perils within the ancient Sith temple. Its brief appearance adds to the overall atmosphere of threat and mystery surrounding Malachor.
