Tempter

Tempters were small rodent-like creatures native to the Forest Moon of Endor. They his in hollowed tree stumps, leaving their furry tongue protruding out of the mouth of the stump. When prey came close to the stump, hoping to use the tongue, which appeared as a tiny rodent, as food. The tempter would then spring on its prey, biting and eating it. They were discovered by Pfilbee Jhorn and his team during their expedition to Endor in wake of the construction of the shield generator for the Death Star II.
