Akk dogs - sometimes called aak dogs, akk hounds or akk beasts - were large scaled reptomammals native to Haruun Kal. Akk dogs were Force-sensitive and thus capable of being domesticated by the native Korunnai. Great companions to these nomadic people, maturing from pups to hounds in two to four months, akks were used for protection - not only of the tribe, but of the great grasser herds shepherded through the jungles by Korun herders. Akk dogs have been exported across the galaxy to serve a variety of masters.
Haruun Kal's Akk dogs had triangular teeth in jaws strong enough to crush durasteel; large black tongues; scaly hides that could block a lightsaber; armored, muscular tails the length of their body; shovel-sized splayed claws; and armored, lidless eyes. Their bodies were as long as landspeeders. Their heads had six vestigial horns arranged in a triangular pattern, and they had olfactory pits next to their nose. Akk dogs had several smaller varieties, and were also related to akk wolves.
Nar Shaddaa akk dogs - there were plenty of them during the Cold War and were trained to act as a guard & battle dogs for the various factions - having two sharp tusks protruding from their lower jaw, but lacked vestigal horns - having two small ears instead. They were much smaller and their tail was small and much weaker; their upper legs lack scales; their eyes were yellow in color instead of blue.
