Raxshir

Raxshir, also referred to as sabertooths, were a type of large, predatory feline with yellow fur with black stripes. One raxshir lived in a pine forest on the planet Shili and attacked the Togruta Pav-ti Tano and Ahsoka Tano there in 35 BBY. The creature took the infant Ahsoka and fled when more Togruta arrived, carrying her by the scruff of her neck to a clearing in the forest. There, the child used the Force to calm the raxshir and then rode on its back while they returned to her village. At the village, the raxshir allowed Pav-ti to take Ahsoka from its back before leaving peacefully.
