Tkun
this crimson-furred creature was created by the Yuuzhan Vong shapers, and was used by the priests and masters as a garrote to execute a quick - but spiritually significant - sacrifice. The tkun could be carried by a priest, as it coiled itself around an arm or leg, and it was used to suffocate another being. The tkun wrapped its muscular body around the neck of its victim and constricted until the victim was no longer breathing.
