Red (Akorec)

Red is Karra's first, and to date, only pet. He is a Akorec from Karra's home world of Trammis III. Much like the Rancors of Dathomir, Akorecs are the apex predators on his home world. He imprinted to Karra when he hatched from his egg, he instinctively saw her as a surrogate mother. A connection formed between the two through the force from Karra, much like how Rancors had long ago to the Dathomir Witches. Because of this connection Red is developing into quite the specimen of Akorec.

Characteristics
Through his connection with Karra his mind has developed much quicker then others of his kind. While this is an advantage in its own, he has become very intelligent. He is more aware of his surroundings then a basic predator, able to recognize the greater danger and formulate a plan to destroy it or avoid it. He can easily tell friend from foe, even when his allies aren't able too.

Because of his partnership with Karra and his greater intelligence, he has had "the good life". Meaning he has been well taken care of and was always guaranteed a full meal. Because of this he is larger and stronger then other Akorec his age. Though he is still no match for a fulling grown Akorec strength and size wise he is likely able to out smart one.

His hide, as an Adolescent, is able to with stand small arms fire. Stationary blaster cannons and vehicle weapons are unhindered by it though. This changes when he becomes an adult. When he hits puberty his growth will slow but by the time he reaches adulthood he will be twice the size he was.

Behavior
Very Protective of Karra, who he views as a mother. He recognizes Karra's friends and family by her interactions with her and by smell.
