Tris

The tris was a species of six-legged animal that was native to the world of Coyn in the Elrood sector and employed by the Coynites as mounts. They could grow up to 3.5 meters long and 2 meters tall at the shoulder. From childhood, a Coynite was paired with a tris that became his companion and with which they were said to have a spiritual bond. The Coynite who rode the tris is called its kars'asruul which translated as "soulrider". The kars'asruul braids the tris's mane to match his own and often paints runes of their accomplishments on the animal side. The tris were headstrong and very difficult to ride by others that are not their kars'asruul. They were predatory animals with fangs and red pupil-less eyes which made them an intimidating sight. Thaddeus Ross once delivered a baby tris to Tatooine.
