Snow shredder bats were a species of bat that resided on the planet Gigor, located within the Outer Rim Territories. These creatures made their home in the caves scattered throughout the frigid mountains of this world, coexisting with jexxel cats, sentient Gigorans, and consumable mold and mushrooms that flourished near the planet's deep-seated hot springs.
Within current Star Wars canon, snow shredder bats received a mention in Dawn of Rebellion, a 2018 sourcebook for the Star Wars Roleplaying game created by Fantasy Flight Games. These bats initially appeared in the Star Wars Legends timeline, specifically within Creatures of the Galaxy, a 1994 supplement for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game by West End Games.
