- The Jun-la are taken and raised from birth to be trackers by the people of Shri-tal. Their sense of smell great for in ancient times going after prey while in modern times it is useful for tracking missing people, escaped prisoners.
They are a highly respected creature but not revered. Their value is there but the culture as a whole knows it can make do without them and some get shipped off world to private collectors or bought by hunting organization.
The Jun'la's claws are sharp but made for gripping and digging. Against class 3 armor and below they can slash and damage or leather armor but plastoid, durasteel it cannot cut through. With the less aggressive nature of the creatures they do not often attack other outside of their species or smaller animals. The ones in the mountains are more aggressive near the sith settlement but can't slash through most modern armors.

- General behavior:
- An ordinary day for the creatures is hunting down the scents presented to it. They can do other things like be used with reigns to ride from city to city or take relaxing walks through the countryside.
Their mating rituals are generally done in caves up in the mountains and it is time when their start shedding their fur coat for the winter season and are moved to do their thing. Excess children are sold off after enough time to private buyers and collectors or zoos.
They are semi intelligent in that they can learn with enough repetition. A trainer telling them 'food' enough and giving them something to eat will get them to associate the sound of the word with food down the line. Same for other commands but they are not able to operate vehicles.
In times of domination the males fight by bashing their heads together and using their claws. One of the few times they really go at it and let loose is during the mating seasons for females. However Jun-la in the wild have done it for control of roaming packs.
In the winter season they don't hibernate, being able to use their sense of smell to find food under the snow and growing throughout the other seasons a thick coat that will shed come spring. The roam around looking for food and caring for any young that might be around in the group.

Tamed Jan'la are used by the people of Shri-tal for their extremely proficient and strong tracking abilities. On the world they can track a person nearly anywhere (except over oceans but a small lake to the other side) are fast and agile with a good amount of stamina when fully grown. Their not violent but can eat anything around being omnivorous and able to eat nearly anything that smells good.
The people of Shri-tal would use the creatures to go from city to city in times past and till do as they have been replaced by speeders and ships. However some still enjoy leisurely trips through the mountains and countryside s they can be found nearly anywhere on the planet. Their thick furs and size able to be used for beasts of burden. Its star shape nose has been used for aphrodisiacs and enhancement concoction for eons. The ones from the polar region are especially furry with thick hides and trained by the ancient purebloods to fight and attack.
With many of the attacks on Shri-Tal and a few of the worlds the jedi had moved domesticated them to. There was many saved and brought to a handful of worlds to repopulate and be able to transfer them. One several of the worlds they could prove effective in helping search for missing vilagers, children and objects... They could be used to carry large amounts of supplies for building or to replace creatures lost in attacks. Atrisia getting several dozen to raise for the Jade screamers and villages that grow large amounts of crops and or mining groups for ores.
