Happabore

"The happabores don’t eat flesh. Or metal. Just stay away from their mouths. And feet."

- Sarco Plank warns Luke Skywalker and his droids about his happabores

Happabores were a species of massive gray herbivore with broad flat noses and beady black eyes, which were almost hidden by the wrinkles of their faces. They had broad mouths with flat, yellow teeth inside which they would use to bite with if provoked. The creatures forelimbs were short and stubby with broad feet, while their hind limbs were longer and more powerful looking. The scavenger Sarco Plank owned a pair of happabores while he lived on the planet Devaron and used them as mounts, strapping howdahs to their backs to sit on. He controlled the beasts by prodding them with a stick that caused them pain. Young of the species were known as "pups."
