Togrutas, not surprisingly, excelled at teamwork and the ability to associate with different cultures. Their fidelity to their beliefs was legendary, as was their happiness within large groups. Togruta were tranquil and silent, though when the situation called for it they were true warriors. However, Togrutas did nothing to dispel this misconception and even took advantage of the intimidating presence it gave them. This gave outsiders the false impression that Togruta were venomous. Young Togrutas' montrals and posterior head-tail did not fully grow until adolescence, when their montrals become curved and their third head-tail grew to the length of their two main head-tails.Īs predators, Togruta had sharp canine teeth, which they used to painlessly kill thimiars, their primary prey, causing the creatures postmortem death spasms. Togruta had the ability to sense the proximity and movement of physical objects around them by means of their hollow montrals, which detected space ultrasonically. Their heads bore two montrals, and three (rarely four) head-tails, whose stripes were darker than those of the montrals. This red and white pattern was a phenotype left over from their ancestor's camouflage that helped them to blend in with their natural surroundings, especially the red-and-white turu-grass which dominated Shili's scrublands. The pattern of stripes varied from individual to individual. White stripes also adorned various parts of their bodies, including their chests, legs, backs, arms, lekku (head-tails), and montrals.
#Togruta homeworld skin
Togruta had rusty skin tones ranging in hue from orange to red, with white pigmentation on their faces, and greyish lips. This Togruta was Ahsoka Tano, who became the apprentice of Anakin Skywalker.Īfter the Clone Wars, Kajin Savaros was sent there among the Togruta healers and The Silent to heal after his brainwashing attempt by Darth Vader and Probus Tesla. On a mission to Shili, Jedi Master Plo Koon found a young Togruta who had the Force potential and brought her to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Shili is located in the Expansion Region near Hydian Way. The most prominent city on Shili was Corvala, which was the capital. The planet was covered with turu-grass scrublands and valley canopy forests.

It was the homeworld of many beasts, such as the Akul, which tribes of Togrutas had to work together to defeat in order to survive.

The planet was a long-time member of the Galactic Republic and Togrutas had been in the Jedi Order since its earliest years. The legendary Jedi Master Shaak Ti was a native of Shili, as were Raana Tey, Hurana and Ahsoka Tano. SKIN: Red, white, orange, blue and purple Togruta worked well in large groups, and individualism was seen as abnormal within their culture, although it was also a necessary quality in leaders. In order to protect themselves from dangerous predators, and to hunt their own prey, Togruta banded together in dense tribes and relied on their natural pigmentation to disrupt and confuse the slow-witted beasts. Togruta were also distinguished by montrals, large hollow horn-like projections from the top of their heads, that gave the species a form of passive echolocation.

The race exhibited head-tails which were similar to those of Twi'leks, perhaps suggesting a common ancestry. INFO: The Togruta were a humanoid species from the planet Shili.
