The xinkra were fearsome three-meter tall predators native to Kushibah, also home to the lagomorph Kushiban species. They were feared by the planet's other species, particularly the Kushiban. Xinkra could be driven away by fire, the only thing they feared. In 481 BBY, the Jedi Ikrit saved his village from a pack of xinkra by using the Force to convince the creatures to seek food elsewhere.
