Dragonelle

Dragonelles were a type of creature that were known to the Chiss species in the Unknown Regions. Around 37 BBY,Thrawn begins instruction at Taharim Academy around 39 BBY per the reasoning here. Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil establishes that he graudated from the academy in two years, around 37 BBY. As Ziara held the rank of senior cadet during Thrawn's tenure at the academy, it must have been during 39 and 37 BBY. dragonelles were among the Senior Cadet Irizi'ar'alani, core name "Ziara"'s, favorite subjects to sculpt during her free time while she was a student at the Taharim Academy on the planet Naporar. Her fellow cadet Mitth'raw'nuruodo, "Thrawn," studied her sculptures and correctly determined from her favorite subjects—dragonelles, groundlions, and predator birds—that she would favor short attacks, hesitation feints, and aggression in combat. Using this and other information gleaned from Ziara's wire sculptures, Thrawn was then able to defeat her in a sparring match.
