The kybuck was a creature that had spiral horns and brown fur.[2] Kybucks were native to[3] the planet[4] Kashyyyk,[3] and also inhabited[2] the planet[5] Shili, where they resided in its forests.[2]

In 35 BBY,[6] the Togruta Pav-ti Tano took her daughter Ahsoka Tano on a hunt, which was a custom that took place a year after Tano's birth. During the hunt, Pav-ti tracked a small herd of kybucks, and successfully killed one of them.[2]

The Kybuck Clan, a Jedi Initiate Clan to which Obi-Wan Kenobi and Gehren Rand belonged, shared its name with the creature.[7] Kybuck fur could be used to make clothes. Wolentic Dudge, a resident of Kijimi City, wore a vest lined with kybuck fur.[1]

Biology and appearance

Kybucks are creatures with hair, curved horns, brown hair, and stand on two hoofed feet. Though the native ones to Shili have lighter brown hair, downward curved horns, and tufts of hair hanging from their chins.[2] The kybuck native to Kashyyyk have darker brown fur, no tufts of hair hanging from their chin, and have horns that curve upward at the end.[3]

Behind the scenes

The kybuck was introduced into the current Star Wars canon in the 2019 reference book Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary, written by Pablo Hidalgo as a tie-in to the film Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker.[1] Kybucks made their first canonical appearance in "Life and Death," the first episode of the animated anthology series Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, released on Disney+[2] on October 26, 2022.[8]

In the Star Wars Legends continuity, kybucks were a species of ungulates from Kashyyyk[9] that were introduced in the first episode of the animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars,[10] which premiered on Cartoon Network on November 7, 2003.[11]
