Wingmaw

Wingmaws were winged-reptilian carnivores and scavengers native to the planet Balmorra. An oddity among Balmorra's diverse wildlife, the wingmaw evolved on a lonely chain of islands and were inadvertently introduced to the rest of the planet by careless explorers circa 4,250 BBY. Eventually, the wingmaw species made its way to the Deep Core world, Tython, where it roosted in the mountainous world's upper meadows.

Overview
Developing in isolation on Balmorra, the wingmaw demonstrate social qualities of insects; congregating in groups of three or more and showing aversion to damp, dark places. Despite this, the wingmaw was reptilian and could devour the meat off a felled beast's carcass. Preyed upon by the maweater, the wingmaw population saw a sharp increase after the extinction of the maweater during the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire in 3,641 BBY when the maweater fell prey to Imperial bombardment.
