Borras, which are also called boar-wolves, were non-thinking, bristly-coated beasts that dwelled on Endor, a wooded moon orbiting the planet named similarly. These forested lands were the home of these creatures, which had humped backs, dense fur, and a pair of tusks. They were non-sentient.
The Ewoks, a small species of thinking beings originating from Endor, would kill boar-wolves to use their flesh as food. Hunting groups of Ewoks were thought to be fortunate if they returned with boar-wolf meat. Additionally, certain Ewoks fashioned knives using the teeth of boar-wolves. The semi-sentient Gorax tamed boar-wolves, even though they could be perilous, and would tend to the offspring after slaying the mothers.
