As you travel across the surface of Yavin 4, be sure to look every direction for your foes. With so much of the moon covered in jungle, some of it's residents can be found in the jungle's canopy... ready to drop upon unsuspecting trespassers. That'd be you.

This creature, native to the fourth moon of Yavin, is a spider-like crustaceal mollusk with long legs attached to a small body. It drapes itself over the exposed roots of the Massassi trees, with the ends of its legs in the water of a river or stream. When a fish swims too close to the angler, it thrusts its legs out at the fish, spearing it with the pointed ends. The legs then work in unison to grab the fish and draw it into the angler's mouth. |

The tybis was a gentle beast of burden native to the planet. Resembling a large, shaggy bear, the tybis was descended from a species of vicious predators. Quite often, individuals would revert back to their savage roots, attacking their owners and causing great harm. During the winter months, tybis herds had to be released into the wild to hibernate. In the valley surrounding the Temple of the Infinite Spirit, huge groups of tybis would sleep in great piles during the winter. The predatory instincts of the tybis were often brought immediately to bear when they were awakened from this sleep. |
Across Yavin 4, small flocks of the beautiful whisper bird feed on fish and weeds. They are named for their famously silent flight, and their low, sweet song. |
