Hurnot

The Hurnot is a breed of canine-like creature native to the savannahs and hills of Rauther. It is a primarily a carnivore, but can become an omnivore when prey becomes scarce. They have become domesticated by the Rautheran population as a partner and sporting creature, since with their muscular shoulders and short, powerful muzzle, they're adept at tracking down and subduing several types of rodents as well as some larger game.

Hurnots have become emblematic of several Rautheran military units because of their ruggedness, stubborness, and staunch loyalty. They are occasionally used as patrol and rescue animals, able to perform these roles when droids are unavailable. A few work alongside Sarian Selkas in the employ of both the Union Marines and Provincial Army as "warhounds", tracking down fugitives or rooting out entrenched enemies.
