Summary
|
Gorgs, known as chubas in Huttese, were small precocious amphibians that could be found on several planets, from the swamps of Naboo to the deserts of Tatooine (the latter being their original native planet). They were popularly favored as food by many humanoid species (including on Tatooine), either dried, fricasseed, or roasted in manak leaves. In Huttese, "hot chubas" were called "hotsa chuba."There were many species of gorgs, including long-tailed, three-eyed, and four-eyed varieties. Different types of gorgs were eventually introduced to the populations of Naboo and its moon of Rori, where they evolved to become large, flesh-eating creatures. Gorgs were also known to be mutated by bio-engineers. One such mutation resulted in the successful growth of a chubafly. The chubafly was essentially a colorful gorg, but with wings that made it capable of flying. Sometimes, during times of great drought on their native world of Tatooine, gorgs hibernate in burrows, encasing themselves in a cocoon of hardened saliva. Occasionally, these burrows that gorgs use for general shelter and hibernating could be within profogg "towns". Natural predators include worrts, which the gorgs themselves are somewhat similar to, but smaller and more ambulatory. Read more... |
