Cuddles was Nightsister Silri's pet rancor. It was trained by Silri to work for the Zann Consortium and attacks only enemies, not Zaan Consortium members. Cuddles later helped Tyber Zann, Urai Fen, and Silri raid Palpatine's Imperial Museum on Coruscant to retrieve an ancient Sith holocron stolen from the Zann Consortium by Bossk.
In Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption, Cuddles is summoned up from the ground during land battles when Silri uses her "Summon Rancor" ability.
