Hardshell

Hardshells were a type of creature lived in the cold deserts of the moon Jedha. Due to the inhospitable nature of their habitat, they had to find ways of adapting to stay protected. Most of them had hard shells, not to protect them from the weather, but against predators. However, not all hardshells had shells. The shell could be removed with relative ease, leaving the creatures defenceless without them. Though usually quickly dispatched, hardshells would swipe and spit at anyone they deemed a threat.
