Mamien

Mamiens were large simian creatures native to Yavin 4. They were solitary creatures, shy and skittish, and difficult to approach. They also possessed a curious and casual demeanor. However, they were very protective of their young and might turn violent if their infant was threatened. Mamiens used to walk on two legs but they could occasionally walk on four. The creatures possessed a wooly hide.
Following the Battle of Yavin, the collector Breac Slaus tasked a group of spacers to hunt and kill an unreasonable number of mamiens.
==Behind the scenes==
Mamiens appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts, prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.
While Empire 15 depicts the Mamien as very ferocious creature that attacks Biggs Darklighter unprovoked, the mamiens in Star Wars Galaxies were rather docile and non-aggressive.
