P'hiili

{Species P'hiili were species of aquatic creatures who originated on the sentient world of Yuuzhan'tar prior to 28 ABY. They were known to make burring sounds, and were typically kept in ponds or other water-filled areas outside of residences to act as a sort of organic alarm system. Another trait that made them useful as guards was their tendency to eat anything that came within reach. When the Yuuzhan Vong species invaded a galaxy other than their own in order to find a new home, they took the genes of the p'hiili along with them in order to re-create it later on. After the Yuuzhan Vong conquered the New Republic capital world of Coruscant in 27 ABY, the p'hiili were re-created and placed on the now terraformed world, which had been renamed Yuuzhan'tar in memory of their original homeworld. In 28 ABY, some p'hiili were present in a pool of water on the new Yuuzhan'tar that was overlooked by a shrine to the Yuuzhan Vong god Yun-Harla, and their cries intermingled with those of the ngom, another type of creature.
