Fwits were a small, furry, carnivorous, mammalian non-sentient species native to the arboreal planet of Maridun. Expert hunters, they could run very quickly and catch most smaller prey. Averaging at around half a meter tall, fwits were kept by Amanin on Maridun as both pets and guardians, due to their vicious, savage nature. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, hunters were encouraged to kill Fwits on sight.
