Back again... Nerfs

Nerfs, not the foam footballs in this case, are four-legged herbivores with four horns, found all over the galaxy. Averaging a little over four and a quarter feet at the shoulder, the males are a bit bigger than the females, and, due to their aggressive nature, are kept apart from the rest of a herd. The fur coat of a nerf tangles ridiculously, and, hence, is a haven for insects and other such small objects, which makes these herbivores smell horrific. To enhance this disgusting first impression, black, sticky spit constantly hangs out of their mouths as they chew with incurable manners. It was certainly an insult to Han Solo when Leia said to him in The Empire Strikes Back:

"Why, you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder!"

In the wild, nerfs are constantly in danger of manka cats and taoparis. To help them avoid these predators, including Gungans, in some cases, nerfs have very good night vision. Nerfs are eaten in lots of different ways, including nerf tenderloin, nerf steak, and nerf sausage. As a result of the adaptive nature of the nerf, several subspecies have become distinct over the years: the Grizmallt nerf, the mountain nerf, the wildernerf, the larkin nerf, and the wooly nerf. Nerf-throwing, an illegal sport, is a contest to see who can throw a nerf the farthest and most accurately. Nerf-pox was a superficial infection found in the children of Alderaan.
