Skreeg

Skreegs were small mammalian humanoid creatures native to the jungle moon Yavin 4. They had short and flat ape-like heads with big eyes and a short snout. They had long limbs, and their claws served as their only natural defense. Their body with partially covered with hair, the color of which ranged from cream to brown. Skreegs were herbivorous and lived in small colonies throughout the forests of their homeworld. They were aggressive and considered any approach of other humanoid lifeforms as encroachments on their territory and would fight savagely to defend it.

After the Battle of Yavin, the Exar Kun cultists tamed a skreeg named Mother Luresh that they used to defend the Temple of Exar Kun.
