Lurca hounds represented a canine species native to the planet of Wayland. These dog-like creatures possessed several distinctive physical characteristics: notably, gray skin, red sclera in their eyes contrasting with blue pupils, and bony frills extending from their snub noses. Their bodies were also quite muscular. Typically, lurca hounds were not tamed; however, Batcher, an exception, was domesticated by the clone known as Omega. Other lurca hounds, those in the possession of the Galactic Empire, were managed through the use of behavioral collars, which dictated their actions and movements.
The initial appearance of lurca hounds was in "Confined," the debut episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch's third season. This episode was initially broadcast on February 21, 2024.
