Stontha beast

Stontha beasts were a type of creature that lived on the planet Petris Major. By around 482 BBY, the Jedi Wayfinder Tar'ak Borran used a Force artifact known as an Echo Stone to commune with wild herds of stontha beasts to guide them away from floods on the planet.

When Jedi Master Barnabas Vim visited Petris Major to search for Borran around 482 BBY, he spoke with a Theelin merchant who told Vim tales they had heard about Borran, including when he communed with the stontha beasts. Later, Vim mentioned hearing about the stontha beasts from the merchant in a recording he made for his Padawan, Vix Fonnick. Vim's message was stored in a holocron kept in the Jedi Archives on the planet Coruscant. In 228 BBY, the recording was viewed by Jedi Knight Reath Silas and Padawan Amadeo Azzazzo.
