Lyco Pibex

Lyco Pibex were strange, passive creatures which spoke in squeeks and hisses and were found on many planets throughout the Galaxy. They stood about a meter tall and were very fast runners. Many were kept as pets by interstellar travellers. Two such creatures once escaped their captivity and escaped into the streets of Mos Eisley where they started a colony, much to the dismay of the local Jawas. Unfortunately for the Jawas, Lyco Pibex ate the metal alloys found in scrap yards where Jawas were known to rummage.

Behind the scenes
Lyco Pibex were created by Brendon Fraim, a Star Wars fan, as part of the Design An Alien contest held in the Star Wars Galaxy Magazines. The entry was picked as the second place winner in the 16 years and older category but it is not known exactly how canon the creature is.
