On a world as inhospitable as Hoth, herbivores need natural advantages to survive. The lumbering herd beasts commonly called “icetrompers” must contend with the constant threat of hungry wampas and whitefangs. Unable to outrun their natural predators, icetrompers compensate with powerful stomping hooves and thick curled horns that can sweep aside even the most determined hunter.
An icetromper’s greatest natural asset, however, is its multiple sets of eyes. Like certain arachnid species, the secondary eyes are reserved exclusively for detection of sudden changes in nearby light patterns. Even the stealthiest wampas have difficulty sneaking up on icetrompers. (Codex Text - Star Wars the Old Republic)
