Taun-taun

Taun-tauns are 2m tall bipeds indigenous to the icy planet Hoth. Tauntauns possess white fur, downturned horns, four nostrils, and a foul body odour. They are omnivorous, subsiting off lichens found in hoarfrost. They give birth to two young at a time, twice in one Hoth year. They are used as mounts by the Rebel Alliance, and have been exported offworld to other cold-climate regions (including Coruscan's polar caps) for use as mounts, beasts of burden and tourist attractions. The thick layers of fat and fur provide adequate protection from the cold during the daytime, but tauntauns cannot survive the plummeting night temperatures without shelter.
