Simoomian sensory hound

The Simoomian sensory hound was a non-sentient species of six-legged canid native to the planet Simoom. Renowned for their preternatural eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell, they were domesticated by herders, and most noble estates of the Senex and Juvex sectors had a pack of sensory hounds for hunting and security.
While on the planet Mimban in the year 2 ABY,The Essential Reader's Companion dates the events of the novel Splinter of the Mind's Eye to the year 2 ABY. As it is an adaptation of part of the novel, Splinter of the Mind's Eye 1 must also take place in 2 ABY. the protocol droid C-3PO mistook the violent, howling soundSplinter of the Mind's Eye of an energy mining drill for that of Simoomian sensory hounds, and assumed that the Galactic Empire had set a pack of them on the trail of himself and fellow Rebel Alliance members R2-D2, Luke Skywalker, and Leia Organa.
