Leaf-tails were flying omnivores, and although they preferred berries, they could sustain themselves on insects and other smaller rodents. Individual leaf-tails posed no threat to sentients, but should an individual come across a leaf-tail nest, dozens of the rodents could attack in a swarm using their teeth. During the Galactic Civil War, the tiny handful of smugglers who occasionally traveled to Dagobah in order to capture jubba birds told tales of leaf-tails causing near catastrophic damage to starships by chewing through cabling.
In the new Star Wars canon, leaf-tails were mentioned in Nexus of Power, a 2016 supplement to the Star Wars: Force and Destiny roleplaying game made by Fantasy Flight Games. The species originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first mentioned in the 2001 reference book The Wildlife of Star Wars: A Field Guide, which was written by Terryl Whitlatch and Bob Carrau with illustrations by Whitlatch.
