Steelee

Steelees were a species of quadrupedal riding mounts found on the rocky planet Elphrona. They had silver skin and duralloy hooves, which sparked when they made contact with Elphrona's metallic surface and produced an organomagnetic field that allowed the creatures to lock their feet in place. Steelees could also be tamed using the Force, in which a Force-sensitive could connect with the creature to calm it and communicate.

The Blythe family owned a herd of several steelees at their homestead on Elphrona. When members of the Nihil marauder organization kidnapped the Blythes, the raiders stole some of the family's steelees in order to transport the prisoners back to their starships. After being alerted to the raid, the Jedi stationed at the nearby Jedi Order outpost took the remaining steelees to pursue the Nihil. During the pursuit, the steelee rode by Jedi Master Porter Engle was killed by one of the Nihil, but the Jedi managed to almost catch up to the raiders, destroying one of their two vessels.
