A species of shaggy domesticated pack animal. A jerba has a piglike snout, elephantine body and tail, and spindly legs with grey, leathery hide. The torso is covered in matted dark brown fur. At least two jerbas were visible in Mos Eisley near the cantina where Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker bought passage to Alderaan [ANH]. The mounted head of a jerba decorated one side of the alcove where Han Solo's frozen form was kept in the palace of Jabba the Hutt [ROTJ].
