Gondar

"I want some coffee. But I guess I'll have to settle for that gondar sweat those machines are puttin' out."

- Triv Pothman

The gondar was a tusked creature. Gondar pits were said to smell bad, and Triv Pothman compared poor-tasting coffee to the sweat of a gondar while onboard the Eye of Palpatine in 12 ABY. Their tusks were used in armor, or as decorations. While using the alias of Tamtel Skreej when rescuing a carbonite frozen Han Solo from Jabba's Palace in 4 ABY, Lando Calrissian wore a helmet with white gondar tusks protruding from it.

Behind the scenes
The tusks of a gondar first appeared in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi which was released on May 25, 1983, but were not clarified as such until Taster's Choice: The Tale of Jabba's Chef was published in Tales from Jabba's Palace in January 1996. Gondars were mentioned in Children of the Jedi, The New Rebellion, and The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, but their sentience was not detailed.
