Legend

these huge, six-limbed creatures are native to the glacial regions of the moon Misnor, where they grow heights of over two meters. Chiilaks are more than a match for Wookiees in strength, and are excellent swimmers. Their upper four limbs are used as arms, and their hands have a thick middle digit and two smaller, opposable fingers. Their feet are clawed, and all six "paws" are webbed for use in swimming. Their pelts are thick, providing protection from the cold environment in which they exist. Generally white in coloration, chiilaks tend darken in color as they age. They are omnivorous, and will eat just about anything they can catch. Hunting of chiilaks was allowed under Imperial aw, but actually surviving the hunt and returning with a chiilak pelt was never a foregone conclusion.
