Howlrunners were predatory creatures native to the deserts of the Wild Space planet Kamar who were renowned for their ferocity and dedication to the hunt. Known for their unsettling, Human skull-like face, howlrunners were regarded as the most dangerous of Kamar's beasts, hunting in packs and chasing down prey with incredible stamina. Howlrunners were known throughout the galaxy as uncommonly tenacious predators, although by the era of the New Republic they had become endangered on Kamar, as they had become a popular target for big-game hunters. Their reputation was widespread enough that during the Imperial Era, the Incom Corporation named the I-7 Howlrunner starfighter after the beast.
