Wrix

The wrix was a mountain-dwelling species of large creature ideally suited for pit-fight competitions. 
==Biology and appearance==
Wrixes were predators that lived in the mountain and preyed on small animals. They had sharp claws.
===Sub-species===
The most common sub-species was the gray wix. The Corellian wrix was also dark gray, but had larger ears and was more aggressive. The Tanthior wrix was larger at 3.5 meters and had evolved longer legs to be faster in pursuing herd animals.
==Behavior==
The creatures preyed on small animals in the wild, but if in close contact to civilization, they would eat family pets or other domesticated animals. They were very territorial and drove other animals from their hunting grounds. If needed, they would hunt in packs to take down larger animals including Humans. Wrixes generally hunted at any time, but when going after Humans they preferred to attack at night. This lead some to speculate that they might be more intelligent that first believed. 
==History==
The wrix had been portrayed in folklore as a monster for thousands of years, especially on Corellia.
