A mynock is a leathery-looking silicon-based organism, that grow up to 1.6 m (5.25 ft) long, with wingspans of up to 1.25 m (4.1 ft), that feed on electrical energy. They are often found leeching power from spacecraft, as mynocks are one of the few species that could live in the vacuum of space, feeding on stellar radiation and "silicon and other minerals from asteroids and other space debris". Mynocks also have bat-like wings which they used to fly in the atmosphere. They reproduced by mitosis.

Found across the galaxy (having spread prolifically from their original system), mynocks tend to flock together, migrating annually in large groups. The most notable of these migrations were the famed migrations of Roon, where the sky could literally become darkened from swarms of these creatures.

Despite being a silicon-based life form, a properly prepared mynock could be ingested by carbon-based life forms; they were sometimes used in Twi'lek cuisine. The Jedi Order, in honor of the mynock's skill at evading attack, named a form of lightsaber combat after the beast, called Soresu.
