Xinkra

The Xinras were fearsome three-meter tall predators native to Kushibah, also home to the simian Kushiban species. They were feared by the planet's other species particularly the Kushiban though they could be driven away by fire: the only thing they feared.

In 480 BBY, the Jedi Ikrit saved his village from a pack of these creatures by using the Force to convince the xinkra to seek food elsewhere.
