Woolamanders were a type of being that originated on Yavin 4, a moon where they were native. These creatures, a distinct species, dwelled among the high branches of the enormous Massassi trees found on that world, raising their offspring there and emitting resonant mating calls during the late hours of the night. These creatures possessed round stomachs, arms significantly longer than their legs, and a slender tail ending in a fluffy cluster of rainbow-colored hair. Predominantly, their bodies were coated in blue fur, interspersed with sporadic areas of red and yellow. Kes Dameron possessed the ability to locate woolamanders by following their distinctive odor.
The existence of woolamanders was initially brought up in Dark Apprentice, a novel from the Star Wars Legends series authored by Kevin J. Anderson, which saw its publication in 1994. The reference book Ultimate Star Wars, released in 2015, established the species as part of the official canon.
