- "I think these are just very lonely, very hungry predators."
- ―Silandra Sho describing three of the predators circling her and her Rooper Nitani
A predator was a type of carnivorous mammals that inhabited the swamps of the planet Gloam. They appeared to be a cross between a charhound and a giant cat. They had three eyes across the center of their head, a pink nose, a mouth with two rows of needle-like teeth and a pair of spiky black antlers protruding from their forehead. They stood on four legs and had a muscular body covered in a layer of thin black-and-green fur. Three of these enormous beasts were encountered[1] in 382 BBY[2] by Jedi Padawan Rooper Nitani and Jedi Master Silandra Sho while they were searching for survivors of Outer Rim Expedition Two-Five-Two, a fellow Republic Pathfinder team. The predators sought to tire the two female Jedi out, but through the aggressive defense of Sho's shield bonking them on the nose and bodies, they were eventually compelled to retreat.[1]
