Izizian monkey

Izizian monkeys were a type of creature native to the Inner Rim jungle planet Onderon. The creature shared its name with Iziz, Onderon's capital city. In 231 BBY, when Onderon received a sky-island with a replication of its environment for the Valo Republic Fair, fair organizers led by Coordinator Samera Ra-oon avoided stocking the sky-island with more dangerous creatures, opting for a few monkeys and birds as they did not want any of their visitors killed or eaten. When Ra-oon told Jedi Master Elzar Mann about the jungle safaris that would be offered on the Onderon island, she mentioned the presence of the Izizian monkeys.
