Kinrath are a species of large, non-sentient insectoids native to Dantooine and Kashyyyk, and possibly other planets.
They are normally a light yellow-brownish color, but other varieties are slightly differently colored. A variety of kinrath can be found throughout the forests, including the viper kinrath, which carries a deadly poison and is tougher than standard kinrath. Another was the hive kinrath, which lives in the subsurface of Dantooine. Kinraths grow to their full size quickly, some hatchlings seen have been nearly the size of adult kinraths. Kinrath seem to be hive creatures, and a single female kinrath matriarch is the leader of a hive of kinrath.
Kinrath have four legs and a leg-like, poisonous appendage coming out of their faces that they use to attack things. All kinrath have very small eyes, but they are still blind. They can sense heat, however, and attack whatever they sensed. What stops them from attacking each other were sweat glands that they have. Their sweat releases a stench that only they can smell, and they do not attack things with the smell of their sweat. It is possible to remove the sweat glands from a kinrath to avoid being attacked by them when exploring areas infested with them.
