Legend

a huge, humanoid behemoth native to the Forest Moon of Endor, the Gorax was an ape-like monster with long, black hair, large, tufted ears, and a pig-like snout. It was carnivorous, and preyed on any living creature it could get its hands on. In general, Goraxes were solitary beasts. One noted Gorax lived in the limestone mounds that are found beyond the Desert of Salma. The average Gorax stood almost thrity meters tall, which allowed it to reach into the tree-villages of the Ewoks and capture them for food. Sometimes, a Gorax captured Ewoks simply as pets. A Gorax kept a ready supply of food, as indicated when one captured Jeremitt and Catarine Towani and kept them caged for later consumption. Cindel and Mace Towani were able to rescue their parents from the Gorax, with the help of the Ewoks. The Gorax was killed when it fell from into an underground chasm. Goraxes have been known to kill a boar-wolf mother as it was giving birth, killing the mother and all the pups except for the one it liked. It then took the surviving pup and kept it as a pet.
