Tusk cat

The  tusk cat was a fawn-colored feline predator found on the worlds of Naboo and Corellia. Unlike most tusked animals their tusks did not grow from their upper jaw or maxilla,but were completely external to the oral cavity,and actually grew from their lower jaw or mandible. On Naboo, tusk cats often preyed upon smaller animals such as the peko-peko. Despite their predatory nature, the larger ones could be tamed and ridden for recreation and to serve as a mount for the Royal Naboo Security Forces.

Behind the scenes
It should be noted that wild tusk cats (and other animals such as gundarks as portrayed in Galactic Battlegrounds can be thought of as the equivalent of wolves and other neutral/Gaia units from Age of Empires. Tusk cats appear both as wild creatures and as mounts for the Naboo cavalry units.
