Scurrier

Scurriers were a species of small rodents native to Tatooine. The bipedal runners sported an elongated snout, horn-like appendages, and a pointed tail. They were present in the streets of cities like Mos Eisley and in the vicinity of more isolated settlements like the Lars moisture farm.

Scurriers in the galaxy
Scurriers were small omnivores with an appetite for garbage. They would scavenge in trash heaps in search of food and material for their nests. They were known to find their way aboard docked freighters and transports, thus propagating the scurrier population across the galaxy; they were even found on stations like Outland Transit Station. Worse, scurriers had a penchant for picking apart machinery, a trait that was hardly welcome on a cargo- or passenger-filled transport.

Apart from this dangerous habit, scurriers posed only a marginal threat of intelligence. Though they would fiercely defend their territory, scurriers usually fled at the first sign of danger (say, a passing landspeeder), able only to call upon a high-pitched squeak and a painful bite to use against advancing predators like anoobas and womp rats. Their bite sometimes carried an unusual disease known as Scurrier Disease. In spite of this, scurrier tips were a Hutt delicacy, referred to as "scuzzi spits" in their language.

Scurriers traveled in packs of around thirty, and were known to appropriate profogg nests for their own uses.

Diformism
Male scurriers had horn-like appendages on the top of their heads. In females these appendages were absent.
