Biology and appearance
Edit

Mastiff phalones were quadrupedal pack hunters about two meters long. Mastiff phalones were apparently of avian descent, though flightless, with a broad, flat head with a sharp beak, and a mane of large brown feathers. They had a muscular build with sharp talons large enough to wrap around a man's waist. They tended to hunt in groups and used the tall grasses of Maridun's savannahs as cover. They were fierce creatures but tended to retreat from an attack if the prey was too powerful, only to later attack the same prey again. The immigrated Lurmen had found a peaceful way of dealing with them by a group effort of having several Lurmen distract the mastiff phalone, while one of the group takes a rope and ties it around the legs of the mastiff phalone, thus immobilizing the creature. The Lurmen later release the captive mastiff phalone back into the wild.
History
Edit
A group of mastiff phalones ambushed the Jedi party of Aayla Secura, Ahsoka Tano, and several clone troopers, One also attacked Rex and Anakin Skywalker back at their crash site. Rex narrowly escaped this attack, and allowed it to run off and bring back a second mastiff phalone.[1]
