Ysalamir

The ysalamir (plural ysalamiri) is a furry, lizard-like tree-dweller (about 50 cm in length) from Myrkr, most known for its ability to repel the Force by creating a Force-neutral bubble. This ability evolved in response to predation by the Force-sensitive vornskrs.

Adults could grow up to three to four feet. The babies hatched from bubble like eggs. The babies were 3 feet long and 2 inches high.

Ysalamiri sink their claws into the trees on which they live, and draw nutrients through them. It is very difficult to remove a ysalamir from its tree without killing it, although Grand Admiral Thrawn found a way. He used ysalamiri to great effect, to control the cloned Dark Jedi master Joruus C'baoth and to accelerate the Spaarti cloning process without the usual side-effects, which result from similar Force imprints interfering with one another.
