Legend

this immense, gray-furred Wookiee was forced to watch as a group of Mandalorians killed his family, during the last decades of the Old Republic. For his part in killing most of them, Ryyl was sent to prison on the planet Brentaal. When Shogar Tok took control of the prison for use as his own fortress, during the early stages of the Clone Wars, Ryyk joined Sagoro Autem and several other inmates in an attack on Tok and his forces. Ryyk had befriended Lyshaa, and fought to protect her during the battle. With the Republic's forces pinned down, Shaak Ti offered the three their freedom in exchange for helping the Jedi to destroy Tok's hold on Brentaal. They reluctantly agreed, seeing no better path to freedom. Unfortunately, while infiltrating the sewers beneath the fortress, the group was attacked by a scrange, and Rykk was badly injured by a swipe of the creature's tail. Without proper medical attention, the Wookiee died in the sewers. Shaak Ti swore to recover his body and have it transported to Kashyyyk for burial.
