Pryss-creature

Pryss-creatures were large, elephantine beasts found on the primitive planet Verig. Verig's native nomadic hunters used bola-like weapons while hunting to trip the creatures.
During an expedition to Verig during the Galactic Civil War, Rebel Alliance tactician Beryl Chiffonage observed the planet's nomads' strategy of tripping the Pryss-creatures. Inspired by what he saw, Chiffonage developed his own strategy for use by T-47 airspeeders to trip and down Imperial All Terrain Armored Transport walkers using a harpoon and tow cable, a tactic put to effective use by the Rebellion during the Battle of Hoth in 3 ABY.
