Yunu

The Yunu were a large, furred, sentient species native to Arkinnea. They lived in the planet's forests, and allied with the Jedi refugees led by Jedi Master K'Kruhk, helping them establish a secret temple there.

They seemed to have been aware of the Jedi for a very long time, able to recognize the group as Jedi and kneel down in respect after Sidirri had killed the Arkinnea Militia with her force power and know the location of an abandoned temple and even recognized it being owned by the Jedi. Master Zao noted they possessed stories of the Jedi and still looked upon them with respect and fondness.
