Culture: In the Aradia system Duxalo are seen as not only cattle, but also the thing that helps the natives survive. Without the meat of the Duxalo there would be fewer sources to turn to, and without its hide and fur clothing would be much harder to come by. So in turn for everything they take from the Duxalo the natives feed and endeavor to protect them.
Technology level: N/A

General behavior: It was always a wonder how the Duxalo survived before the Omawi and Dathomirian immigrants arrived. The creatures had tendencies to not only get themselves stuck in tight areas, but to ram into the side of cliffs and fall off mountains. Some find it hilarious, but the ones who now have to herd the Duxalo find it incredibly annoying and troublesome, however it is their duty to aid the Duxalo. Often times Duxalo will feed for at least five hours a day filling their bellies, and another twelve hours would be spent with them sleeping with the rest usually filled with them mulling around aimlessly or using the bathroom.

History: Similar to the Mynkir the Duxalo are native to the Aradia system and have been around since before the Dathomirian and Omawi immigrants arrived. IT was soon found out by the immigrants that besides the berries and plants that grew on the planets their weren’t to many other sources of food due to the Mynkir and the other planetary predators. At first it began with them hunting the large creatures with their blaster weapons. However soon enough after realizing how relatively harmless the creatures were the immigrants would begin herding them with things such as electostaffs and stun weapons. With the Duxalo’s great size and strength the process of moving supplies became much easier as well, and once a year the fur is usually trimmed and turned into clothing for the immigrants. Soon enough the creatures were used in just about everything and when under the command of force users were put to work helping build entire cities and repairing villages.

Notable Player-Characters: N/A
Intent: To create a native fauna for the planets of the Aradia system to give it more life and a unique feel.

The only issue I have with this submission are those two numbers. 40 meters puts this at around 131 feet tall, which is an insanely large creature. Especially when we are talking 15 billion of them laying about. Both numbers need to drop considerably before I can approve this.

Sorry mam. I had meant Million on that one. However the size of every other creature on the planet Glyss is unnaturally large as well, and they are still smaller than the average size of Krayt Dragons. As well the planet is incredibly large and many times the size of Coruscant.
