Uxibeasts were hair-covered mammalian herbivores native to the planets Tython and Voss. Roaming open pastures on the mountainous world, the uxibeast's horned body posed a danger to anything caught in its path when agitated.
Large, shaggy herbivores, the uxibeast was a large beast easily agitated and very aggressive. Pack animals most comfortable in large herds, the horned animal was no easy prey to the pouncing manka cat or flying wingmaws; the spines along its back could easily puncture the skin of such predators. Domesticating uxibeasts was no easy challenge; the animal might imprint on a single being, forming a strong bond and loyalty with that individual.
