The Blue Bantha
« on: December 31, 2009, 11:36:55 AM »
INFO: Force Sensitive Banthas.


RACE: Blue Bantha
HEIGHT: 3 Meters Tall
SKIN (FUR): White with light blue horns (this is where they get their name from)
DISTINCTION: Resembled Banthas
LANGUAGE: Blue Bantha had their own language

HOMEWORLD:
Entooine was a moon of a gas giant in the Entoo system of the Outer Rim Territories. It was the only inhabited celestial body in the system and had an extreme electromagnetic field. The moon was a frigid world with ice crevasses, polar ice caves, lichen, shrubs, indigenous quohr, and two sapient species: the tribal Askhew and the blue banthas. The world joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic and served as the location of a Rebel strike base with easy access to a nearby Imperial shipping lane.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE:
The Blue Banthas were sapient, Force-sensitive Banthas found on the planet Entooine. The average height of a young Blue Bantha was two meters, whereas adults generally grew to an average height of three meters. Though named blue, they actually had white fur and were named for their beautiful, light-blue horns which were collectible items offplanet. When attacked, they defended using their horns as well as simply trampling their attackers. Though not very different physically from the normal bantha, all members of the species could use the Force to a small degree. Additionally, they could never forget any memory and were known to pass down their knowledge through the generations.

CULTURE AND HISTORY:
Askhew shamans often communicated with them to ask for advice and received simple answers by watching how the Bantha's stomped their hoofs. To communicate, they believed they had to approach the Blue Bantha's with the lower leg bone of a standard, Brown Bantha. Though this was not true, as the Blue Bantha's had their own language, the Askhew simply did not understand it. Jowart Typok was known to hunt Blue Bantha's for their horns sometime during the Galactic Civil War before he was stopped by a group of Rebels.
