Rills were reptiles native to Tatooine that looked like scyks. They were not aggressive unless attacked. They had spines along their backs and very sharp teeth, and lived in Tatooine's deserts alongside womp rats.
After the Battle of Yavin, Animal Control officer Entha Kandela tasked a spacer to eliminate tempest rills around Mos Eisley to prevent them to chew on the insulation of power cables in the city.[3]
Rill meat could be used as food.[4]
