Ysalamir

Category: Creatures
Type: Mammals
Planet of Origin: Myrkr

this was the name given to one of the slender, grey-furred creatures, native to the planet Myrkr, that naturally created null-bubbles in the Force. The bubble created by an individual ysalamir could extend up to 10 meters in diameter, and a group of ysalaimir could generate a much larger bubble. Early in their lifecycle, ysalamiri would use their long claws to attach their bodies to tree limbs and obtain nourishment from the wood. As a sessile creature, the ysalamir soon died after being separated from their perch. Ysalamiri could reach lengths up to 50 centimeters, and have fur-covered scales.

Building on the work of the demented researcher Jenna Zan Arbor, the scientists were able to study the trapped spirits endlessly, harnessing the energy field they created, and testing it. Its power was incredible. No energy source could rival it. A curiosity they did notice was the relation between the field and the incredibly durable Mandalorian iron: they found that the metal could not be affected by the Force energy field, this effect peculiar only to iron from Mandalore and not "normal" iron. The scientists mistakenly believed then that this odd iron could actually suppress the Force energy field. This proved untrue, though the metal did make for effective Jedi containment devices, as seen with Imperial Dungeon ships and Mandalorian handcuffs. However, it is suspected that the ysalamiri of Myrkr, creatures known for their ability to dampen the Force, could owe their unique gift to their ability to process the great quantities of Mandalorian iron to be found in the trees that serve as both home and nutrition for the creatures. It is suspected that the trees were transplanted at some point from Mandalore.
