Scurrier

Scurriers are a species of small non-sentient creatures that hailed from the desert planet of Tatooine. They were characterized by their long ears, distinctive snout, and skittish temperament. They normally roamed the desert, but were commonly found loitering outside inhabited settlements.

Biology and Appearance

Scurriers were small non-sentient creatures that possessed some bipedal ability. They had a semi-upright posture, with their limbs directly underneath their body, their trunk in a near-horizontal position, their neck curving upwards, and their tail sticking straight out behind. They ran on all fours, adopting a fully horizontal posture, but were also capable of standing on their hindlimbs alone, freeing their forelimbs and paws for digging. Their heads boasted two sideways-facing eyes, a pair of long, tubular ears that were usually held upright, and a distinctive snout ending in a disc-shaped nose with four nostrils. Scurriers were covered in naked, wrinkled skin whose color varied from pink (on the underside) and grey (on the back and upper part of the skull).

Behavior

Scurriers used their forepaws to dig into the sand. Although they normally lived in the desert, scurriers could also be found near or even inside inhabited settlements. They traveled in groups, and tended to disperse at the first sign of perceived danger, such as a passing vehicle.
