The gornalak is a reptilian species of carnivorous creatures that originated on Taraloon. These creatures lived within the cave systems and subterranean passageways of their home planet. As apex predators in their native ecosystem, gornalaks faced virtually no natural threats, save possibly the pirate known as Chillo Sanpona, who was known to hunt them for sport.
- The initial mention of gornalaks can be found in " Stand and Deliver ," featured in Star Wars Adventure Journal 5.
