Zistle

The Zistle were an aerial mammal native to the perished planet of Alderaan, while also being found on the jungle planet Talbatha. Originally thought to be extinct, it was later discovered to have survived on Talbatha, where it was exported as a pet. This makes it one of only four species that survived Alderaan's destruction. Dainty and graceful, Zistles were omnivorous, feeding on insects and nectar, while occasionally supplementing their diet with eggs or leaves. Zistles have been known to be expert hunters, using their excellent hearing and eyesight to track down prey. Zistles mate for life, and live in nuclear family groups; a male and female pair and their offspring. A female will give birth to up to 6 pups a year, which are born blind and unable to smell, using their senses of touch and hearing to find their surroundings. Baby Zistles mature quickly, however, being able to see and hear only after a week, and full grown after a year, in which they search for a new mate. Zistles, despite their dainty and fragile build, were brave and loyal, and could be very ferocious if provoked, a quality admired by the Talbathian race. They were kept by Talbathian nobility and aristocracy for centuries, where they served as mascots and centuries, with some even aiding in hunts to track down game.
