Xandu, a mammavian species that could fly, originated from the planet of Iego, their native world. As one of the many predators found on Iego, they possessed the ability to hunt and carry off prey that were as substantial as a human. These creatures, distinguished by their six eyed visage, were territorial, guarding their domain and patrolling the rocky spires scattered across their home planet. They were known to seize their victims and violently dash them against rock formations using their limbs. They used four wings to fly, and their large ears allowed them to detect prey from far away. During their search for reeksa root on Iego, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi had an encounter with one of these creatures.
