An ankkox was a sizable ungulate that originated from Haruun Kal. The Korunnai, native to that planet, domesticated them to be used as riding mounts. Being the biggest creatures on the planet, they were twice the size of grassers, or roughly 1.5 times the size of a bantha, although shorter and broader. They possessed shelled hides, feet that were splayed, and three sets of legs mounted on their sides. Their orange-gold eyes were as big as a Human's head, while their heads, which had armored beaks, were the size of landspeeders.
With the exception of its highly flexible tail, they had heavy armor. The tail ended in a dense ball of armor referred to as a "tail mace." The Korunnai would take these tail maces from young ankkox to assist in herding grassers. A fully grown ankkox could whip its tail mace at a speed too fast for the human eye to perceive, yet with sufficient force to break a tree.
Seats for drivers were attached to the shells on their heads, and carriers for passengers could be mounted on their backs. Kar Vastor utilized an ankkox to transport Depa Billaba to meet with Mace Windu.
