Caniphant

Caniphants were a crafty type of creature that covered their own tracks, making them extremely difficult to find. A feral caniphant at one point terrorized a ranch on the planet Koboh where the hunter Mosey Cimmaron and her mother lived, destroying the barn on two occasions. In order to locate the hard-to-track creature, Cimmaron and her mother reversed the ranch's moisture vaporators and filled the air with moisture. This made the caniphant's scent far more pungent, allowing them to track it.

After the Jedi Knight Cal Kestis slew the unpleasant smelling mogu known as the Mire Terror in 9 BBY, Cimmaron told him about the caniphant that terrorized the ranch as an example of how important smell could be when hunting .
