Arctic horny whelmers[2] were ten-legged creatures found in the arctic regions of[1] the Outer Rim[3] planet Rothana. Being both bulky and fairly slow, they hunted in packs, wearing their prey out with their persistence. Thanks to their low gravity center, they were capable of sustaining strong gusts of winter wind, even when climbing over cliffs.[1] The horny whelmers' sturdy form and peculiar squatting stance inspired the design of the All Terrain Tactical Enforcer walker,[2] which was built with multiple qualities from the creature.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

The arctic horny whelmer was first mentioned in the current Star Wars canon in the 2018 reference book Star Wars: Complete Vehicles. The portion of text in which the species was mentioned[4] was carried over from the 2002 Star Wars Legends reference book Star Wars: Attack of the Clones Incredible Cross-Sections, written by Curtis Saxton, which was the first mention of the arctic horny whelmer species in that continuity.[5]
