Nevertheless, panthacs were also smuggled out of Mantessa by slavers and hunters. Infamous Chevin slaver Phylus Mon kept a pack of Mantessan panthacs as a part of his personal security entourage.
The Galactic Empire used the panthac as the base template for the creation of the genetically modified garral. A Galactic Alliance unit, the Orange Panthacs, were named after the animal.
It also spawned the phrase "A panthac doesn't change its stripes". It's unclear whether this striped version of a panthac was a different species, sub-species, the product of the Imperials' experiments or simply just a point being made in the phrase's context.
