Anooba

The Anooba is a ferocious hyena-like creature native to Tatooine.

Appearance
It is more feline in appearance than canid, with long slender legs, a skinny appearance, and an elongated and exquisite tail. With nearly no hair, only brown, sun-tanned skin, gives it a grotesque appearance. The only hair they have is a mane along the head, neck, back, and tail of light, brown hair. They have large ears that provide great hearing, and blue eyes. Their face tapers to a light gray horny beak used for crushing bones and thick muscle. They weigh 44-99 lbs, and stand about 2-3 feet tall, much like wolves.

Behavior
These horrendous opportunistic pack hunters stalk the immense deserts of Tatooine searching for prey such as eopies, rontos, or other large creatures. They attack with their horny beaks that easily rip both bone and flesh, much like hyenas. They then feast. Some accounts have reported gluttonous anoobas so engorged with food that they are unable to move! It is not uncommon for their packs of 10-12 silently wait outside of podraces, waiting for someone to crash, and then an easy meal. Mothers feed their 3-4 puppies food through regurgitation. Their heinous temperament made it near impossible for them to be fully tamed!

History
A pack of anoobas were stored in a Confederate prison during the Clone wars. Also during this time, was the bounty hunter Embo, who had a pet anooba named Marrok. Coruscant is famous for its animal trade. Anoobas have been imported there, and then escaped! They roam the revolting Coruscant allies in search of prey, birds, garbage, or humans. Here they howl at the planet's moons like wolves. They could be captured and used in fighting matches, and with a shock collar around their neck, they got aggressive. Tusken raiders of Tatooine would capture and domesticate this creature, and the used them as a companion or guard dogs.
