A type of meat-eating mammal, the predator lived in the swamps of Gloam, a planet. Its appearance suggested a hybrid of a giant cat and a charhound. Key features included three eyes positioned horizontally across its head, a pink nose, a mouth filled with two rows of sharp, needle-like teeth, and a pair of pointy black antlers extending from its forehead. It moved on four legs and possessed a powerful, muscular build covered in a coat of sparse black-and-green fur. Around 382 BBY, Jedi Master Silandra Sho and her Jedi Padawan, Rooper Nitani, encountered three of these large creatures while looking for any remaining members of Outer Rim Expedition Two-Five-Two, a Republic Pathfinder group. The predators attempted to exhaust the two female Jedi, but they were ultimately forced to withdraw after being repeatedly struck on their noses and bodies by the forceful defense of Sho's shield.
