Pritarr were cat-like beings who were originally from the rainforests of the world called Onderon.
When hunting, Pritarr used very deep sounds to talk to each other from far away, like a super-low "purr" that humans can't hear. Because they could hear these sounds so well, they could feel earthquakes coming way ahead of time. The Untamed took advantage of this, getting ready for bad things if their pritarr seemed uneasy.
