This thorny animal, found on the Forest Moon of Endor, possessed a set of defining characteristics. It moved on four legs, had pointed ears, and a snout that narrowed to a point. Its coat was black, marked by a white stripe running along its middle. A sizable, gray shell covered its back, adorned with white spines. This creature lived in trees, displaying proficiency in climbing trees.
On one occasion, Wicket Wystri Warrick experienced a painful interaction with this animal during his warrior skills assessment to become a warrior. Due to the misfortune caused by a lucksprite, Warrick mistakenly seized the spiky creature instead of the intended doll. As a result of the spines, Warrick plummeted from the tree, leading to his test failure.
