Lylek

Lyleks were renowned for their viciousness and aggressiveness. One of the very few species able to live on Ryloth's Bright Lands, its body was adapted to the extreme heats and fierce winds that scourge the planet's surface. To find food, they would crawl deep into the planet's caves. Therefore twi'leks always had to take defensive measures to guard themselves from attacks by the lyleks, who would mostly hunt in packs. To guard their underground caves from the ferocious animals, the twi'leks set up a whole network, consisting of enormous blast doors in their main cave entrances, as well as traps laid near smaller crevasses that could be an easy way in for the lyleks. If lyleks were unable to find food, they were known to return to cannibalism.
They were a tall insectoid species, composed of a durable exo-skeleton covering its massive muscles. They walked on six sharp legs, had a set of voracious fangs in a strong jaw, and bore two tentacles on their front, and one where its tail should be. The tail-tentacle had barbs covered in a non-lethal, but subduing toxin. When attacking they would use all the weapons on their body to finish their prey swiftly.
