The Resistance pilot Poe Dameron sometimes wore a jacket made of runyip leather.
Classified as non-sentient, the runyips were herbivores that lived in the forest and fed by foraging on its floor. They were frequently attacked by swarms of carnivorous piranha beetles.
Runyips was first mentioned in Star Wars canon in the 2015 reference book Ultimate Star Wars, which was released in 2015. They first appeared in Electronic Arts' 2017 video game Star Wars Battlefront II. Runyips were first created for Galaxy Guide 2: Yavin and Bespin, a supplement for West End Games' Star Wars Legends Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, which was written by Jonatha Ariadne Caspian and released in 1989.
