STAR WARS
Zoology: Ewoks' bait

"Ewok bait"

Natural Range:
Forest Moon of Endor.
Niche:
omnivore?

Much is unknown about this creature, including its name. The only specimen seen to date was seriously mutilated and hung on a stake as part of an animal trap laid by Ewoks. The furry beast looks as if it weighed about fifty kilograms. The short and coarse hair was mostly tan except for the bright white fur of the underbelly and mouth region. The mouth was small in comparison to the overall head and bore only a few small tusks and incisors. The size and shape of the one intact limb suggest that the animal is quadrupedal and stands at about half a metre high in life. The reddish colour of the exposed flesh hints that the creature uses an iron-based substance akin to human haemoglobin for a circulatory fluid.
