I read a Star Wars novel way back in early 90's and I remember that there was a species of animal in it that I think was called Voornksyyrs. (Spelling?) Is that what they're called? I think they were pets of the Noghri. How they were describes basically made it sound like they were like a Pitbull-type creature with a whip-like tail. Does anyone know about this?

I've always liked this one better. [image=http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/b/b9/Vornskr_EGF.jpg]
The vornskrs are native to Myrkr and are Force sensitive, so they usually want to attack Force-users. That's why the Ysalamiri can project the Force-bubble, so the Vornskyrs have trouble hunting them. Karrde had two domesticated Vornskrs names Sturm and Drang. There was something about the Yuuzhan Vong using them to hunt Jedi, but I don't know much about that. Nice pics, BTW.
Voxyn, to be exact. Nasty critters, they used Vornskrs as a genetic template to create them, made a hybrid with one of their own creatures. [image=http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/1/18/Voxyn.jpg]
Once again, my peeps roll up on the set and provide me with the 411. Map props. Mad props to all my peeps.
Sith Alchemy creatures would fare horribly, due to the fact that Voxyn are intended to combat force related things...
