The quenker was a diminutive, armored rodent from Dantooine that moved by hopping, and is considered a legend. An acidic fluid was produced by its mandibles, which it utilized to consume and break down the flesh of its prey.
After the events of the Battle of Yavin, Jener Mich, a collector, gave a band of spacefarers the duty of hunting down and eliminating a very large quantity of quenkers.
Quenkers were featured in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies. This massively multiplayer online roleplaying game was created by Sony Online Entertainment and distributed by LucasArts, before it was shut down on December 15, 2011.
