What Are the Dog Pig Creatures in Star Wars Andor? Answered

The dog pigs are Corellian hounds, which have a variety of uses. They have a keen sense of smell, despite looking like they don’t have noses, and they track Han Solo in his spinoff movie.

On Ferrix, a few hounds guard a small shipyard from which Cassian Andor borrows ships. Corellian hounds have sharp teeth that regrow quickly if broken. Their intelligence is low; in the Andor premier, one of them pees on a droid capable of defending itself, and quickly regrets the decision.

The hounds are more on the dangerous end of the spectrum. Luckily, Cassian Andor doesn’t need to fight any hounds. But will they show up to hunt him down later in the series? Time will tell, the Corporate Sector surely won’t let him go that easily.
