Coruscant Guard headcanons-ish (mostly focusing on Hound):
There aren’t just massiffs
Coruscant has a lot of smuggling, including animals. Not only that but the Senators give them their pets to take care of (that is not a pet but a wild animal wtf)
But they end up with an assortment of baby animals that CAN be domesticated and do something with them
Quinlan started it when he handed a baby Nexu to Fox and said they were trainable and loyal. Fox passed this on to Hohnd and nugget was a part of the family since
Ever since then they got two more Nexu, both sticking with new shinies under Hounds command
Surprisingly they have one Narglatch, though Blizzard (dubbed by Stone) is rarely used. Often used for chases in the lower levels, able to chase and weave easier through crowds than a speeder (think Horses in police forces)
At one point, some 501st and 212th troopers found what they thought to be a massiff and happily dropped it with the Guard,
It was not a massiff and Hound broke many laws to get it to the Jedi temple and out of his hands fast
See they had found an Albek, a force sensitive creature that looks like a massif but is VERY aggressive and BERY untrainable, last Hound heard was that it was set free and is very happy
Another of the larger creatures that is used far more often than the narglatch is the Varactyl
Somehow a shipment of young had been smuggled onto Coruscant and were taken in by the Guard
Their ability to climb vertical surfaces and calm nature and silliness to listen to their rider made them perfect in the club districts; the tall buildings were close enough to jump between and had many platforms for people to walk and dance
They could weave above crowds and act almost like helicopters when chasing criminals, but we’re able to go into the crowds; only problem is that people had to get out of the way or be trampled
Hound and his infinite luck ran across a hurt Rancor with a shiny one night. Though they could not take the Rancor in, they sent it to the Jedi temple where it receives lots of love and treats from the younglings and troopers who visit
The Rancor serves as a guardian of the wing dedicated to dangerous artifacts and texts, and is watched over by the Temple Guard
AND AND AND
Spark dragons
ARF troopers ride them but due to fear, they are used to guard the prisons. Occasionally, they are lent out to other battalions with their riders
They are dragons native to Kiffu and can easily get their charge from the static electricity created by genorators
They were found as young babies and trained by the ARF
Quinlan was absolutely ecstatic and adores them, they’ve made a special attachment with him but prefer their troopers
On one occasion two were sent out with the Marine Corps, who were afraid as hell. Those troopers had a lovely time and many stores of scaring the ‘homosexual hardcore’ troopers

Must Love Massiffs
Summary: You meet an unexpected person at the park who happens to have a massiff just like you.
Pairing: Sergeant Hound x GN!Reader
WC: 1.6K
Warnings: 18+ MINORS DNI; Name calling.
A/N: If you can't tell, I got this idea from the romcom "Must Love Dogs" starring Diane Lane and John Cusack lol. I'm a diehard romantic. Always. Anyway, I'd not written anything for Hound yet, so here we are! <3
Your day hadn’t started off well. First, you got let go from your job at the bank that you had worked at for the last six years. Then, you spilled your coffee all over your new leather seats of your speeder. And finally, your massiff, Zio, had gotten out and ran down your street toward the park so now, you’re chasing after her trying to make sure she doesn’t scare someone or get run over.
A great fucking day, right? Just the absolute best. What next?
“Zio!” You call out, losing her out of your sight.
“This fucking massiff.” You grumble. “I knew I should have taken the lazy tooka home…”
You grumble, but you love Zio with your entire heart. Normally, she’d wait for you to put her leash on, so the fact that she ran out the door like that kind of worries you.
“WOAH! DOWN BOY!” You hear someone in the park shout. “DOWN GRIZZER!”
You turn around and start running immediately, seeing Zio sniffing out another excited massiff and his Coruscant Guard owner.
“Zio, down!” You yell, a little afraid that this guy could hurt Zio or even arrest you.
You really didn’t know much about the Coruscant Guard other than they were basically glorified detectives and worked closely with the chancellor, senate, and Jedi. People you didn’t really care much for.
“Do you mind?” The clone snaps at you in a rude, modulated voice. “Don’t you know what a leash is?”
You glare at him, pulling Zio back toward you, leashing her. “Obviously that’s what I was trying to do, thanks.”
“This is a leash-only park.” The Corrie tells you, ignoring your comment.
“Yeah, I know, asshole.” You finally get her to sit. “She ran out and I’ve been chasing her for six blocks. You gonna arrest me or something? Because if not, I’ve got places to be.”
You get a look at his intricately decorated helmet. It’s different from any Corrie helmet you’ve ever seen. It actually looks really cool, but you’re not gonna tell this asshole that. It has grey and white jags with a red V that goes down over the visor from the top. It’s interesting. But unfortunately, the helmet belongs to a dick.
“Okay, great.” You nod when he says nothing, walking Zio away. “Let’s go, Zio.”
When you get to the edge of the park and let Zio do her business there, you look back at the Corrie and he’s still watching you with a tilted head. Whatever. You turn back around and then head home once Zio is done.
“You’re rotten, you know that?” You talk to her, shaking your head.
She looks back at you slightly, clearly pleased with herself.
“Sorry, girl. It’s been a long day…” You sigh.
When you get home, you let Zio off the leash and feed her dinner then go and sit down on the couch.
Now what? Job hunting… that’s what.
When Zio is done scarfing down her dinner, she comes and lays on the couch with you, putting her head on your lap, sweetly, as you search the holonet for the help wanted ads.
“It’s impossible to stay upset with you, you know that?” You pet her scaly skin and she rolls over so you can rub her belly. “I think you do actually know that.”
The next day, on your walk with Zio you can’t help but wonder if that Corrie from yesterday will be there. Not that you particularly care, you just want to steer clear of him.
You sit down on the park bench, pulling out your book after you make sure to clip Zio to the bench.
“Zio, sit.” You tell her.
She does and you give her a treat, patting her on the head and then open your book. While you read a couple chapters of your book, she lays at your feet, enjoying the warm Coruscant sun on her scaly skin.
“Good girl.” You pat her again and then go back to your book.
“Um, excuse me.” You hear a familiar voice that you were really hoping to not hear.
This time the voice wasn’t modulated, though. With a roll of your eyes, you sit your book down and look up at the Corrie. Except you were expecting a regular looking clone. Not an incredibly handsome bearded one with longer blond highlighted hair that’s pulled back out of his face.
To say you're stunned is an understatement. You’re practically speechless and you know your jaw must be on the ground.
“Hi.” He smiles. “We met yesterday?”
You look down at his massiff, you think his name was Grizzer, he’s got on his leash. Grizzer sniffs at Zio, who seems uninterested today. Maybe she was unimpressed after yesterday.
“I remember. Are you here to arrest me today?” You look up at him with a straight face.
“Actually, I came to bring you this.” He offers you a cup of caf. “We got off on the wrong foot.”
“Yeah, you were a bit of an asshole.” You nod.
“I was… I’m sorry.” He continues to hold the caf out for you. “It was a bit of a rough day yesterday.”
“Yeah, me too…” You take the cup from him and scoot down the bench a bit as a way of asking him to sit. “Sorry about that.”
He nods and sits a little bit away from you, giving you space, and clips Grizzer to the bench. Zio sits up again, staring at Grizzer and the Corrie, still deciding if they’re a threat.
“No uh, helmet today?” You ask him, taking a sip of the caf, which is black.
You reach into your bag for a few sweetener packets and then put the empty packets into your jacket pocket to throw away at home.
“Sorry, I didn’t know how you took it.” The Corrie apologizes.
“No worries. I always keep sweetener packets on me for when strangers offer me caf.” You smile finally.
“Really?” He asks with a raised eyebrow.
“No.” You chuckle.
He lets out a laugh, which you unfortunately can’t help but notice is nice and makes you smile a bit more.
“But yeah, no helmet today. I was um… hoping I’d run into you today and I didn’t want you to see me as a threat.” He admits.
Oh. “That’s very… thoughtful.” You nod.
He pats Grizzer on the head and then looks at you again. “I’m Hound.”
You tell him your name and he smiles.
“It’s nice to meet you. Again, that is.”
“Likewise. And this is Grizzer?” You nod at the massiff which is still sitting with his tongue hanging out, still watching Zio.
“Yeah. My good ol’ boy.” He rubs Grizzer’s head again. “Zio, right?”
You nod, touched that he remembered her name. “Yeah.”
“Well, it’s really good to meet you both.” He grins.
You both sit there and sip your caf in comfortable silence, watching as your massiffs both lay back down, not missing that they’re pointed toward each other.
“Is it okay if I ask why you had a rough day?” Hound asks after a while.
“Oh… I lost my job… and then spilled caf in my speeder… and then this brat got out.” You nod down at Zio before looking at him again.
“Oh, I’m so sorry.” He tells you.
You can tell he’s genuinely sorry. You shrug, though.
“I’ll figure it out.” You look out at the park.
“What did you do?” He asks.
“I worked at a bank as a teller for the last six years.” You sigh. “It wasn’t the greatest job in the entire world, but I’m fluent in many languages and I enjoyed seeing different people every day, you know?”
“Well… um… I know that my commander was looking to hire a receptionist for the chancellor.” Hound tells you. “If that’s something you’d be interested in?”
It’s sweet that he’s thinking of you like this, but you hate Palpatine. The man is a creep and gives you extremely bad vibes. Anytime you see him on the news, you can’t help but think that he looks like he’d be a villain in a movie.
“Yeah, no. I hate that guy.” You smile. “But thank you… seriously.”
“So do we.” Hound shrugs. “Hate him, that is…”
You admire his honesty. You’d not dealt with many clones so you don’t have much to compare him to, but you’re surprised you’re enjoying Hound’s company.
“He doesn’t care about the clones… just wants us to win his war.” Hound finishes his coffee and looks down at Grizzer.
Your heart breaks for him, this man you don’t really know. Him and the other clones. You’re not ignorant. You know that people don’t treat them like the human being that they are. It’s not right.
“Well, I better get home. I have to get cracking on the job hunting.” You tell him, not making a move to get up.
You don’t exactly want to leave, but you really do have a bit of a busy day planned.
“If you’re not too busy in the morning… There’s this great breakfast spot near the Senate Dome that allows Grizzer in… I’m sure they’d let Zio in too?” He asks, taking a sip of his caf.
“Are you asking me out on a date?” You ask him.
“Yeah, I am.” He grins. “Even though you think I’m an asshole.”
“Used to…” You laugh. “But yes. Breakfast sounds nice.”
You pull out an old business card, write your comm channel on it, and give it to Hound.
“Send me the details.” You smile, unclipping Zio and standing up.
Hound does the same with Grizzer. “I’ll send you the deets.”
You chuckle. “Can’t wait.”
Turning with Zio, you start walking but hear Hound say “Grizz… did I really just say ‘deets’? Maker, I’m such a di’kut.”
You can’t help but chuckle to yourself as you continue walking home, already looking forward to the next morning.
