Well from last weeks episode of Star Wars Rebels. Suggestions and constructive criticisms welcome!

Puffer Pig
The puffer pig is a rare creature whose comical appearance and odd traits mask a hidden value. With a small, plump body, two large eyes set far apart, horn rows on their back, and a prominent snout, puffer pigs are not physically impressive animals; in addition to their strange look, the creatures balloon to more than triple their size when frightened. Puffer pigs' real gift is their sense of smell, particularly for precious minerals. In the age of the Empire, when mining was restricted, this ability led to the trade of puffer pigs on the black market.
Puffer pigs are a non-sentient species of animal which are capable of sniffing out valuable minerals with the efficiency of a dozen mining scanners. When frightened, puffer pigs inflate their bodies to massive proportions, and are capable of multiple size increases if further threats occurred.

Much as I love Rebels, the Puffer Pig joins Zero the Hutt and Jar Jar as favored Y-solutions in the timeless formula "X is no longer canon, but the Star Wars universe officially contains Y?!?!?!"
