Luftgriffs constituted a species native to Vandor, known for their tendency to congregate in groups. The name of the Luftgriff Peak was derived from these creatures. Tibbs Ospe, who managed The Lodge, at one point menaced the smuggler Lando Calrissian with being devoured by luftgriffs due to an unpaid bill; however, subsequent to the raid on Kessel, Calrissian made amends by settling his account.
The replica journal Solo: A Star Wars Story: Tales from Vandor, published in 2018 by Studio Fun International, contains references to Luftriffs.
