- General behavior:
- With the World:
- Born on Rhen Var and attracted to the different locations where crystals and force users have been buried. THey are not able to use the force but are more like a bloodhound and able to sense it namely the lightside of the force in the form of the Solari Crystals that naturally grow on the planet. They are not fully sentient but seem to have an animal level of intelligence and can be domesticated in small groups to be used as guard animals of temples and crypts on the planet. THey forage for food below the frost layer and a number of the different species on the world that have slowly been transported to build up its own Eco-system.
- With Each Other:
- They are friendly, attacking sometimes but no more then any other creature with their own kind. They can generally be found in small groups of 5-10 with one or three being adults and the rest children. Once they are old enough to survive they head out on their own and find their own mate or area to live. Groupings of them can be found around large caves usually with crystals or geothermal vents with the largest generally in the front of the cave while the young ones or the really old are in the back. Fights do happen and they can be vicious as they will bite and claw each other for food, mates ect ect
- With Outsiders:
- They are indifferent for the most part, attacking if they are attacked but they are willing to ignore. Those in the wild at least, the ones raised or in touch with most of the people on the planet itself might approach looking for food or trying to get a place to interact with them. With poachers and hunters that come to the world they can attack them more like a pack instead of one on one, going for the legs and throat to either wound the prey or as a means to quickly finish them off.
- Bonding:
- Being born and raised by a force user allows them to bond with them. Sometimes in a way that they will become a fierce protector and companion of that individual. The bond can create a bridge with them being able to sense each others emotions and even mentally connect to one another. If either dies it can be felt or even dangerous depending on the level of force bond.
- With the World:
Found on Rhen Var in great numbers long ago. Once they were considered an apex predator when the world was lush and vibrant. Renowned for their furs that were died out to collect oil for fires or use the fur for cloaks and blankets. As the once native inhabitants of Rhen Var lived and slowly died once the cataclysm shifted the world into a frozen tundra. Many of them died out like a number of the species on the planet, some slowly over the centuries began to adapt to their new environment and with some care they were able to survive in the snow and frost now. The caves where they once hunted serving as protection and shelter with trace sources of food that they would be able to eat, the few people who came to the world sometimes bringing supplies for themselves that they could work to find if left unattended at night. Their white furs letting them blend into the environment now after all those centuries of adapting
The Kreea are considered a rare sight outside of the small encampments that might raise one or two for foraging domestically. They are next to never seen offworld except by rare hunters who have come to the planet to get a pelt. Once the Silver Watch came to the planet and started to try and restore parts of the world and make it fit for people to live and learn on the world they became more and more common. Their beast tamers who brought silverwings and jakobeasts worked with them to try and learn all that they could. Noting their affinity for sniffing out and finding tombs or caves where force crystals and objects can be. With the force itself being one of the homes to rare solari crystals they have been described as a proto tuk'ata from before the creatures were corrupted by the darkside. Semi intelligent as they can sense hostility and understand when spoken to, with the ability to bond with a force user.
The jedi explorers who have encountered them making note of how they are attracted to places where crystals grow. With the solari on the planet it has an opposite effect compared to creatures like the tuk'ata and hssiss dragons. Who are surrounded by darkside energies on their homeworlds and group near caves, tombs and lakes on worlds like Korriban and Ambria. The designation they have on the world itself let them be seen almost as guardians on the world, finding caves and tombs that the jedi discover and use. Protecting the graves so they are not disturbed in most of the cases with their claws and teeth. The Silver Watch and jedi visiting Rhen Var can use them to find places where crystal might grow or even food if they seem to get stranded in the cold as they will be attracted to them as well as vents for warmth. THose domesticated usually growing larger with a more ample supply of food.
The jedi scientists who have studied them found some problems which explains why they are passive, their bodies do not sweat which can be a problem. Running or intense heat will cause them to have seizures before killing them, their ability to sense and mental openness is something that they worked with to experiment. Not much to find there, it was easier compared to some of the other creatures who might resist. Their fur, being so thick and covered in an organic oil their bodies produces to protect from the cold. Also makes it dangerous around heat as it can catch on fire. Their hides and the meat also proving inedible as it is more unsuitable to human stomachs. Some of them were unsure whether the others of the species could safely eat it or if they avoided it. The silver watch along with other jedi researchers have continued to study the species in hopes of understanding what the world was like before whatever shifted and happened.
With observation they learned they were more open minded as it were to being communicated with via the force. The energy field seemed to be something they trusted but the real reason was uncertain, the theory was the proximity to force crystals on the planet and lack of real contact with human's or any species hadn't made them hardened or suspicious of people. A vague theory but for the time it is the best they have while they continue to study the species as well as Rhen Var itself working to improve what manner of life they can on the world. Now the Kreea are regarded with some pride for those jedi who aere able to bond with and reach one, form a friendship through the force much like when being sent on a quest to gather your own crystal. Now you can get your own animal companion to accompany you on the frozen world. Within the silver watch where things can be harsh it can be a blessing.
With the constant attacks and changes on Rhen Var between jedi and sith... there was a danger that the Kreea could be killed in a purge or battle.... Orihime with several jedi relocated a few to polar regions of different worlds to try and give them a chance. Being careful to preserve them and make the area they were kept the most fitting for them. As something that could be brought to worlds like Hoth or others with ice covered landscapes. Where a jedi could use the back up from a force hunting lion that will protect them if they have bonded with it. She brought them to places like Ahch-To and the frozen polar regions where the jedi and caretakers could monitor them, the force rich world would hopefully prove effective in nourishing them as well as Atrisia and Shri-Tal where they could populate and be preserved.
