A lianeth was a creature that had spots. While on[1] the Outer Rim[2] planet Dalna[1] around 228 BBY,[3] the monster hunter Ty Yorrick encountered Lourna Dee,[1] a former-Nihil-Tempest Runner-turned-bounty hunter.[4] Having previously been informed by Jedi Master Elzar Mann that Dee had changed her ways, Yorrick, who believed that Dee was working with dark siders, compared Dee to a lianeth by using the proverb "a lianeth never changes its spots." Dee, however, informed Yorrick that she was not working with dark side users.[1]
Behind the scenes
A lianeth was mentioned in the fourth issue of the 2024 comic miniseries Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures – Dispatches from the Occlusion Zone. The issue was written by Cavan Scott and published by Dark Horse Comics as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's Phase III[1] on January 29, 2025.[5]
The proverb "a lianeth never changes its spots"[1] is similar to the real-world phrase "a leopard cannot change its spots."[6]

- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates Starlight Beacon's destruction to 230 BBY. The implementation of the Guardian Protocols, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia places in 229 BBY, took place one week after Starlight Beacon's fall according to The High Republic – Shadows of Starlight 1. As The High Republic: Temptation of the Force takes place one year and six weeks after the destruction of Starlight Beacon and its events span a few months, it must be set in 228 BBY. The events of The High Republic: Tempest Breaker occur around two months after the events of Temptation of the Force, they must take place around the same year. As the events of The High Republic Adventures – Dispatches from the Occlusion Zone 4 occur not long after Tempest Breaker, they must also take place the same year.
