The Hengrauggi: Hengrauggi or sometimes called the hengra, was a predatory creature native to the ice planet Delta Vega. It had three sets of limbs, two used for running and another smaller hand-like set. It had hundreds of eyes. They also had a protrusion which served as a whip which they could use to grasp their prey. They were capable of traveling and attacking from underwater.

Rancors: Rancors were very large, semi-sentient reptilian carnivores native to the planet Dathomir, although they were also introduced to and present on Felucia, Tatooine, and Koboh

Rancors: Rancors were very large, semi-sentient reptilian carnivores native to the planet Dathomir, although they were also introduced to and present on Felucia, Tatooine, and Koboh. Rancors were often seen as mindless, violent creatures, due to their extensive use as fighters across the galaxy, but were also capable of being trained and bonding well with their handlers and acquaintances.

Standing around five meters tall, with their long arms, clawed fingers, immense, toothy jaws, and armored hides (which could withstand much blaster fire), rancors were a sight to behold, and made formidable predators; however, they were not inherently vicious to sentient life, despite their infamous and often-intimidating outbursts when threatened or antagonized. A subspecies known as the jungle rancor populated the planet Felucia. Rage rancors were taller than other rancor subspecies, and had an even nastier temperament. Shadow rancors, named for their darker hides, had a notorious penchant for destruction. The proper plural term for a group of rancors in Basic English was a crash.

Rancors adhered to a social hierarchy, where an alpha was dominant over the other rancors until otherwise defeated. Despite their massive size and extremely intimidating appearance, the creatures were, inherently, benign. Though they were often bred for fighting or battle purposes, rancors could be very loving to their owners and handlers if trained and properly socialized. Rancor younglings tended to be very energetic and unaware of their own strength and its effect on others, but they could be easily soothed with a chewing bone or a favorite toy; once they were taught basic obedience, young rancors could calm easily and grow to be very gentle, protective companions. The mouth and teeth of rancors were often cleaned by scavenging birds, the giants simply lying in-wait for the avian cleaners with their mouths open. However, with larger lifeforms, rancors would eat anything that they were capable of swallowing.
