From the Movies

Hardy pack animals used by the insectoid Geonosians, orrays are leathery-skinned quadrupeds with great strength and a quick gait. They are used to haul heavy loads, and as mounts for the picadors found in the Geonosis execution arena.

From the Expanded Universe

Before their domestication by the Geonosians, orrays would use their long snouts to root into the sensitive egg chambers of a new Geonosian hive, devouring thousands of larvae in a single meal. In the wild, orrays have tail stingers for defense, but domesticated orrays have these weapons amputated, which makes them more docile.

Behind the Scenes

Early designs had the orray be much more aggressive and menacing in appearance, but those were instead adapted into the massiff, a creature that would eventually appear on Tatooine in Episode II. The orray has been described as a cross between an alligator and a horse.
