Flappy was a prize-winning Xuvva owned by Yarvok. After a vessel transporting Yarvok's creatures crashed on the planet Dantooine, the beast handler Krupo misplaced Flappy and other pets, enraging Yarvok. Yarvok menaced Krupo with death if he failed to promptly recover his lost animals, Flappy among them.
The 2019 Onslaught expansion for the 2011 massively multiplayer online role-playing game Star Wars: The Old Republic, developed by BioWare, included a Codex entry referencing Flappy within the Invasive Species section about Dantooine.
