Type: Predatory Spider-Like Creature

Dexterity: 3D
Perception: 2D
Strength: 5D

Special Abilities
         Bite: STR+1 damage
         Webbing: Krykna are capable of weaving extremely strong webbing which can bind their prey, even up to Starship size. For each Krykna they can create 2D strength worth of webbing each round, this webbing restricts movement and resists damage using it's strength. {eg 3 Krykna bind a Speeder with their webbing, creating 6D worth of web, the speeder uses it's Body (2D + 2D for scale) to attempt to pull free, but cannot. The pilot shoots at the webbing with his blaster, damaging it by 4D, which probably weakens the webbing enough for the speeder to pull free.}
         Resistance to the Force: Krykna are very resistant to influence through the force, gaining 2D to resist all attempts to control or affect them.
         Energy Resistant Carapace: Krykna are virtually immune to energy weapons, gaining 6D to resist all energy weapons, to everywhere except their eyes. Called shots to their eyes (a difficult task) does normal damage.

Description: Krykna were predatory, non-sentient, spider-like creatures native to Atollon. They were resistant to blaster bolts, and highly sensitive to negative emotions, making them extremely difficult to tame with the Force. They were repelled by the signal emitted by sensor beacons.

Krykna were six-legged, spider-like creatures that had durable skin and cocooned their prey in underground hives. They also had beaked mouths surrounded by a pair of fanged pedipalps. Their skin was highly resistant to blaster bolts, including fire from starship cannons. However, their eyes were vulnerable, and they were also vulnerable to lightsabers and grenades. Krykna were repelled by the signal emitted by sensor beacons. They feasted primarily upon dokma. Although they could be connected with through the Force, it was extremely difficult, as they were highly sensitive to negative emotions.

In 3 BBY, Lieutenant Dicer was abducted by krykna while setting up a perimeter sensor near the newly-established rebel base on Atollon. During their investigation of Dicer's last known location, Sabine Wren and Rex were also attacked by krykna. The spider-like creatures avoided Sabine due to her proximity to the sensor marker Dicer had placed before disappearing, but they managed to capture Rex while fleeing from the Ghost.

The Spectres faced several krykna in their successful attempt to rescue Rex; the predators used their webbing to trap the Ghost and prevent it from taking off. Sabine recalled the krykna's earlier aversion to a sensor marker, so she used one to keep the creatures at bay while Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger used their lightsabers to cut the ship free. To prevent further krykna attacks, the rebels built a fence of sensor markers around their base.

In 2 BBY, a powerful being called Bendu taught Kanan to overcome his fear of the krykna by letting the Force guide his senses. The Bendu taught him that his fear and other negative emotions blocked his connection to the Force. After the former Sith Maul kidnapped the crew of the Ghost, Kanan and Ezra had to retrieve the Malachor Sith holocron from a cave full of krykna. Kanan managed to used the Force to convince the spiders of their peaceful intentions.

When an Imperial infiltrator droid landed on Atollon, it was attacked by several krykna before it could reach Chopper Base. When Garazeb Orrelios found the now-damaged droid, it was surrounded by several dead krykna.

When Ezra, Kanan, and Sabine traveled into the wilderness so that Sabine could train with the Darksaber, their speeder passed several krykna. During the Battle of Atollon, Kanan later traveled to the krykna nest where the Bendu dwelled in an attempted to convince the enigmatic Force-wielder to aid the rebels against the Empire.
