- "I saw Mitsh and Trenrel fall, unmoving and instantly covered by a swarming mound of chittering, insect-like creatures."
- ―A travel journal entry
Fynocks were avian creatures that could be domesticated. They appeared as exotic birds with snake tails. Fynocks lived on the planet of Talus and were the atmospheric cousins of the vacuum-traversing mynock.
A subspecies was the jungle fynock that lived in dense jungles of Talus.[2]
History[]
- "The attack was sudden and without warning. Several scuttling creatures overran our camp while large flying creatures dove at us from above."
- ―A travel journal entry
During the Galactic Civil War, a pack of giant fynocks lived in a cave on the planet Talus.[3] A group of travelers, including Mitsh, Trenrel, Yill'uop, Heitop and Frann, once sought shelter from a storm inside this cave. They were attacked by the fynocks and all but one died in the attack.[4]
Behind the scenes[]
Concept art for Star Wars Galaxies.
Fynocks appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[5]
The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia erroneously describes fynocks as small insects that traveled in swarms.[6]
