Urnsor'is

"The Urnsor'is are vile creatures feasting on the souls of the living."

- A Myyydril guard

The Urnsor'is were a species of sentient parasites first documented in the Myyydril Caverns on Kashyyyk, though it was unknown if they were actually native to the planet. They first came in contact with the Wookiee population when Wookiees of the Myyydril tribe came upon a single egg. This hatchling ultimately produced more offspring, which latched onto the skulls of Wookiees and fed on them. To ascend to adult status in their community, the Wookiees of the Myyydril tribe were required to kill an Urnsor'is, a quest that often failed in the face of the creatures' killing prowess.

The name "Urnsor'is" means "mind pod" in Shyriiwook. Some of the most feared Urnsor'is infected their victims with a flesh-eating virus called "Poltur," for which there was no known cure.
