Background: Fyrnocks are a species of silicon-based creatures that were initially found in the jungles of the planet Anaxes. After destroying their homeworld, many fyrnocks moved to the resulting asteroid belt, including PM-1203. Fort Anaxes, a military base used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, was located in this asteroid. Fyrnocks were hurt by sunlight and could only survive in darkness, where they became fierce predators. However, they were immune to non-solar-based lights.
Fyrnocks are known for their ferocity, using their sharp teeth and claws to attack their prey. They typically grow to the size of a small humanoid, although some can grow much larger.
During the Battle of Anaxes, fyrnocks were seen prowling around a campfire used by Clone Force 99, CT-7567 “Rex,” CC-2224 “Cody,” CT-5597 “Jesse,” and CT-6116 “Kix.” Years later, Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren encountered fyrnocks in the abandoned Fort Anaxes. Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus and his apprentice Ezra Bridger also visited Fort Anaxes, hoping to trap the Grand Inquisitor. They used the Force to convince the fyrnocks to attack the Inquisitor and his Imperial stormtroopers. Although the fyrnocks could not defeat the Inquisitor, they took down several stormtroopers.
