Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Mynocks were a bat-like silicon parasitic species that may have hailed from Ord Mynock but could be found across the galaxy. They were often seen leeching power from spacecraft and could absorb matter from a ship's hull causing it to breach, and if not caught in time, cause catastrophic failure.
