Stintarils are a species of rapacious rodents that are native to the moon Yavin 4, and dwell in the mid-to-upper levels of the jungle canopy.
The Stintarils have sharp teeth that can easily puncture and hold on to prey, and a knobby hairless tail that is used for balance. These rodents attack in swarms, being known for their great speed. Their prey mainly consists of Woolamandera and Whisper birds. The species is nomadic and, as such, are constantly on the move; even their young, born in litters of four or five, are born in transit.
The metabolism of the Stintaril is extremely high, and they have to eat often or risk starving to death within a few hours. Hungry Stintarils are known to turn on their own kind as a last resort, cannibalizing the weaker among them in order to survive.
