Tomenkh (Species)

Tomenkh were a non-sentient species from an Outer Rim planet called Lacunosa. They were two-legged, tusked creatures used throughout the galaxy from the late republic period onward as riding beasts.

Usage
They were fairly quick, manuverable, and cheap, which made them of good use during the Galactic civil war. While they were used to a small extent during The Clone Wars, Tomenkh saw their most prominent days during the Galactic Civil War, whereas Imperiaks found them useful for policing and local patrol, while the Rebels found them useful for raids on local Imperial bases or camps. Their thick Hides provided some protection against blaster shots.

Appearance and Biology
Tomakhs were bipedal creatures, with two sturdy hind legs, a large tail, and two small front claws that would usually hide Under folds of fat To maintain warmth, they had two large front tusks, often broken due to bouting with other Tomakhs. They had long, black eyes on a long, bony head. Their back was somewhat plated and had glowing speckles on it that had different colors depending on where they came from. These lights would go dim when the creatures were sleeping.
