Kybuck/Legends

Kybucks were ungulates that were native to the Woolwarricca prairies of Kashyyyk, and genetically similar to the Tauntauns of Hoth.



Their swift speed, along with the cover of their natural environment, allowed them to be able to run from predators. Kybucks could run at up to 90 kilometers per hour. Males had short horns sitting atop their head. There are many different breeds of kybucks, often identifiable by their horn styles and sizes.

Kybucks mated for life. They raised an annual litter of two or three foals in rearing grounds protected by a barb thicket. Kybucks tended to flee from enemies when alone, but if a foe threaten a kybuck's offsprings, the parents would fight to defend their territory. Kybucks attacked using leaping kicks and horned head-butts to fight off enemies. Judging by the way Yoda speaks to his kybuck, these creatures would appear to be quite intelligent.

The Wookiees of Woolwarrica adored the kybuck for having protective familial insticts that resemble that of the Wookiee culture. The Wookiees did not hunt the creatures. Some chieftains often domesticated kybucks as a symbol of status.

A colony of kybucks was established on Felucia during the battle there by CIS mercenaries.
