- "They arre called kroyies."
"Those birds?"
"Yes. Once they werre a prize food to the Wookiee people. Now even the poorr may eat them. Kroyies will come to those lights. Hunters therre await them." - ―Ralrracheen and Leia Organa Solo
Kroyies were a large birdlike species native to the planet Kashyyyk.[1]
Avian animals, the kroyies were hunted as a food source by the natives of Kashyyyk, the Wookiees. Kroyies lived in the high branches of Wroshyr trees and were attracted to bright lights, causing the Wookiees to use powerful searchlights projected into the sky or clouds in order to catch them.[1]
