Aaroun
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Aaroun was a species of golden-furred carnivores. Under the iron grip of the Viis Empire, they were bred for gladiator combat.
[edit] Behind the scenes
The Aaroun first appeared in the non-canon book series Alien Chronicles made by Lucasfilm Ltd. Its inclusion in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia canonizes its existence in the Star Wars universe.
