Renan bloodwolves were a predatory species native to the planet Rena. Imperial Governor Wilek Nereus once captured a bloodwolf as part of his collection of dental specimens. Mountain ranges above the Renan vineyards were home to this species, which stood just under a meter tall at its shoulder. Its two pair of slashing teeth were abnormally large compared to its skull.[1] These creatures had long dense fur,[1] silvery[2] and mottled in broad patches for camouflage.[1] Mature bloodwolves' tooth enamel was a dusky red-brown caused by iron deposits in the outer layer.[1][2] Bloodwolves fed on spiny hordzats and hunted banthas in packs.[2]
This predator was revered by Pipunt people, who called it the "Great Beast Prince". Renan bloodwolves were known to fiercely protect their young. The brood-fathers of packs could fight to death to protect their offspring — or, when it looked a more secure way to save a cub, could take it into their jaws and run from danger at a speed up to eighty kilometers per hour (though sometimes during such escapes cubs got killed in their powerful jaws by accident).[2]
