Jedi Academy Training Manual[]
The following section presents a menagerie of dangerous Beasts, all of which have some connection to The Force (and, in many cases, The Dark Side). The Gamemaster can use these creatures to populate worlds and locations visited by the heroes during their adventures. The Beasts included here are designed to challenge heroes of every level.
Although some Beasts, such as the Dxun Tomb Beast and the Shyrack, are associated with specific locations, a Gamemaster need only change a Beast's name to use it anywhere he or she wants. For example, a Dxun Tomb Beast could be renamed the "Shadow Stalker" and encountered in a ruin in the planet Ossus or anywhere else the Gamemaster wishes.

Galaxy at War[]
Many armies use living creatures as Mounts, beasts of burden, or even as living weapons. In the right circumstances, creatures can be superior to conventional Vehicles. Mounts are typically quieter than Vehicles and do not show up on sensors that are set to scan for Vehicles.
Mounts must be fed and watered, but they obviously do not require power cells, so mounted scouts and troopers can range far and remain in the field for weeks without supply. Of course, most creatures are considerably slower than Vehicles and far more vulnerable to attack. Nevertheless, some beings raise and train creatures to serve on the battlefield, wither as aggressive predators or as guard beasts.
