Kath hounds were a fierce canine species of pack hunters[1] found on the planet Dantooine[2] that could be leashed.[3] They were about one meter in height and had cloven hooves,[2] thick fur and strong jaws. There were a number of subspecies of kath hounds, including variants with powerful, curving horns. Some xenobiologists attempted to categorize some varieties as more powerful or dangerous than others, but in truth, all members of the species were lethal hunters, especially when hunting alongside their pack mates.[1]

Some attempts have been made to breed or genetically engineer improved versions of the species, such as highly aggressive and near uncontrollable salky hounds, but few real improvements have been made.[1] Eventually they became a rare sight on Dantooine, due to many being captured as pets or guard animals.[2]

Captain Cardinal of the First Order believed that in regards to Captain Phasma, General Armitage Hux believed he had a kath hound that could be leashed, but in reality had a rancor waiting for the gate to open.[3]
