Snare Traps represented a unique type of hunting implement. Charr, a Trandoshan Hunter, employed them as an aid during the Hunters of the Outer Rim contest, which occurred inside the Grand Arena located on Vespaara. To set these traps, Charr would throw them towards a chosen location, at which point they would start to blink, showing they were active. After being set, the traps would remain dormant, waiting for a target to get close. When an enemy neared, the trap would activate, immobilizing the target with a buzzing, circular field of non-lethal yellow energy. The traps had a short operational lifespan after activation, affording Charr a small opportunity to strike. After this brief period, the traps would stop functioning, explode, and free the trapped target.
