Leo

Leo was a nekko who was the faithful companion of the hunter Mosey Cimmaron. By 9 BBY, the pair got into a scrape where Leo was fatally wounded. In a mesa-side alcove in the Rambler's Reach Valley on the planet Koboh, Cimmaron told the nekko to stop complaining and looked at the wound. Upon realising that it would not heal, the hunter decided it would be better for her companion to die peacefully than be eaten by others. With a solemn understanding and as much compassion as she could muster, Cimmaron then put Leo down with a blaster bolt. She buried her companion in a grave in the alcove surrounded by several small cairns and lit with a wall-mounted lamp.

In 9 BBY, the Jedi Knight Cal Kestis discovered the grave and listened to Leo's final moments through an echo in the Force.
