Vornskr

The vornskr was a canine beast that could hunt using the Force. Vornskrs were native to the forest planet Myrkr and hunted the native ysalamiri. Over time, the ysalamiri developed abilities to suppress the Force as a defensive adaptation against vornskrs.
==Description==
The vornskr, native to the planet Myrkr, were a wild, vicious canine species that had the unusual ability to sense the Force. This ability evolved to help them hunt ysalamiri, but a side effect caused them to think that Force-sensitives were their favorite prey, including Jedi in their appetite.
To counteract this hunting method, the ysalamiri developed the ability to project a "Force bubble," which suppressed the amount of Force energy present within, to the point where no Force abilities could be used.
Vornskrs were primarily nocturnal hunters, and used their whip-like, mildly venomous tails to stun prey before finishing it off with their teeth. They were normally sedate during the day, but hunger or other factors would drive them to hunt during daylight hours.
Before Jedi Master Aragorn refined it into Vaapad, the Form VII style of lightsaber combat was referred to as the Way of the Vornskr.
Tyber Zann used such creatures within the Zann Consortium. After taking the younger vornskrs away, the pups were trained as effective hunters for enemy troops that escaped imprisonment.
The pirate Lord Furter kept two vornskrs, Sturm and Drang, as pets and guard animals, and considered offering them for sale as guard animals. He discovered that cutting off their whip-like tails was similar to castration, since it removed most of their hunting aggression, a fact he detailed in an article published in the Galactic Zoology Monthly. Additionally, it made them easier to handle by removing a frequently used weapon. The discovery was a fortunate accident as he had originally shot off Sturm's tail in self defense. Despite being relatively docile, Furter's vornskr were still instinctively hostile towards force users, such as Mickey Mouse. 
Vornskrs were also used as guards in the Dark Force Temple on Dromund Kaas.
