Voorpee

Voorpee was a male voorpak on loan from the Naboo Zoo to the Coruscant Jedi Academy on the planet Coruscant circa 195 BBY. The zoo introduced the voorpak to the school as a means of teaching students responsibility in caring for a pet, as well as learning about the biology and habits of the species. Students at the academy were encouraged to care for Voorpee at the academy's care center, feeding him a preferred diet of live insects and keeping his soft fur clean.

Voorpee quickly proved popular with most of the academy's students but suffered at the hands of two school bullies, Cronah and Cyrus, who tortured the creature by taking him for unauthorized "walks" and stuffing him in a school locker. Despite the abuse he suffered, Voorpee was allowed to return to the academy the next school year but was used as part of a prank that resulted in hundreds of voorpak clones being set loose at a school talent show.
