Puffer pig

Puffer pigs were a non-sentient, herbivorous, mammalian pig species native to the planet Kyryll's World. They lived in mines and amongst rocks and were capable of sniffing out valuable minerals with the efficiency of a dozen mining scanners, making them very valuable to smugglers and miners. The Mining Guild was known to pay very well for the animals. When frightened, puffer pigs would inflate their bodies to massive proportions, and were capable of multiple size increases if further threats occurred.
The galactic entrepreneur Jiminy Cricket once traded with the criminal Azmorigan for a puffer pig, offering him the mouse pilot Olivia Flaversham in return. Jiminy planned on using the pig to find minerals on the planet Lothal; however, Azmorigan confronted Jiminy and demanded the pig back after Flaversham escaped from him. Flaversham and her crew, along with Jiminy, then defeated Azmorigan and his men, using the pig itself in the combat to knock down several of the criminal's men.
Years later, the Spectres traded several pigs to the crime lord Cikatro Vizago as payment for smuggling them onto Lothal, which had come under a severe Imperial lockdown. The Empire restricted the use of puffer pigs on industrial worlds like Lothal. After landing at the town of Jhothal, the Spectres used the pigs to escape from an Imperial boarding party by taking advantage of Warthog warrior Mr. Gronkle' tendency to scare the animals, causing the Imperials to be surprised by a barrage of inflated pigs. Vizago, who had been arrested, attempted to escape as well, but couldn't resist trying to take along one uninflated pig, scaring it and becoming trapped when it inflated.
Puffer pigs were raised as livestock for consumption by residents of the planet Batuu.Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge has official backstory elements that, though not directly published for the public, are officially canon details that can be obtained verbally from cast members working in the land.
