Strill

Strills were highly intelligent six-legged carnivorous Mandalorian hunting animals. They had large, fanged mouths and their bodies were about one meter long lengthened by a whip of a tail, which, like the rest of their bodies, was covered in blubbery, loose flaps of skin. The skin was not bare, but covered with short fur. The majority of this loose skin was used as flaps for gliding and flying. Gold was the only fur color mentioned, but it is possible other shades existed. Strills made a variety of noises, including baying while hunting and moans or whines to indicate distress.

They were also capable of gliding and flying great distances and carrying incredible loads while gliding. Most were known for their horrible smell due to the fact that they made no attempts to clean out their folds of excess skin. Strills drank milk and liked to be permitted to eat their kill after a hunt. Strills were monecious, that is, having both male & female reproductive organs. Strills lived much longer than standard humanoids and well-trained strills were often passed down through Mandalorian families as a family tradition. Walon Vau had a pet strill named Lord Mirdalan during the Rise of the Empire Era which later was passed down to Jaing Skirata.
