The Gorax from Star Wars Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure

Gorax lived in mountainous areas and rarely showed themselves. Although notoriously aggressive, cruel, and rather stupid, they displayed a capacity to use objects as crude tools—for example, using an uprooted tree as a blunt weapon. Moreover, some wore crude pieces of cloithing, like a sash made of furs and skulls, or a belted loincloth.
The Gorax dwelled on Endor, a forested moon of the Outer Rim Territories that orbited a planet of the same name. Occasionally, they emerged from their habitat to attack the villages of Ewoks who also lived on Endor. The Ewoks of Bright Tree Village posted watchers in the forest canopy above their homes to look out for such marauding Gorax. In fact, Gorax raids were one of the reasons why the Ewoks built their villages high in the trees, and why they created a variety of traps, catapults and other large weapons.
When Chief Buzza still led Bright Tree Village, a male Gorax lived near Mount Krana. Makrit, the village's shaman at the time, had come to worship the giant, whom he called "Great Devourer." Makrit intended to sacrifice kidnapped woklings in the Gorax's honor, but ended up being eaten instead.
In 4 ABY, the Gorax traps the Bright Tree Ewoks set up as a defense were re-purposed for taking out the All Terrain Scout Transport units deployed by the Galactic Empire during the Battle of Endor. Shortly after the battle, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa helped the Ewoks Kneesaa and Wicket stop a rampaging Gorax by resetting those traps.
