The yellowtail ibbot hawk represented one of the sixty-eight distinct species of ibbot bird that were native to the planet of Drall. In contrast to the majority of ibbot species, which consumed algae, the yellowtail ibbot hawk followed a carnivorous diet. Consistent with all ibbot species, the yellowtail had evolved to occupy a specific ecological role on Drall.
The yellowtail ibbot hawk received a mention within the Coruscant and the Core Worlds sourcebook for the 2003 Star Wars Roleplaying Game, which Wizards of the Coast published.
