Erkush was a creature native to[1] the Wild Space[2] planet Kalee,[1] as are members of the Kaleesh species. Kaleesh warriors hunt the Erkush for more than simply meat[3] and generally kill to demonstrate their bravery,[4] making its pelt for clothing[3] and its skulls and bones for fearsome masks.[1] They also valued their prey and wouldn't allow anyone near them.[3]
The Ithorian collector named Dok-Ondar[5] owns an erkush-carved mask that had originally been worn by the late General Grievous,[6] which was displayed in his Batuuan store, Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities, in Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu.[5]
Behind the scenes

Kemp released on January 26, 2010.[8]
