Togruta

Togruta are a visually striking and culturally communal species known for their vibrant skin tones, head-tails (lekku), and tall montrals — hollow sensory horns that enhance their environmental awareness. Native to Shili, Togruta evolved as cooperative hunters in open grasslands, where teamwork and acute perception were vital to survival. Togruta value harmony with their surroundings and with each other. Their societal structure emphasizes community over individualism, and solitude is often viewed as unnatural or dangerous. Many Togruta who leave their homeworld still carry a deep-seated need to bond with groups — be it a Jedi Order, crew, or rebel cell. Though not all are Force-sensitive, many feel a spiritual pull toward greater unity and balance in the galaxy. Their natural coordination, perceptive abilities, and need for group dynamics make them formidable allies and keen battlefield supporters.
