Nuna/Legends

Nuna, also called swamp turkeys, were reptavian gamebirds that lived on Naboo. They could be seen living around the Lianorm Swamp.



A dwarf species existed, the adult of which was the same size as a chick of the common species. A number of dwarf nunas were exported to Tatooine as pets of Jabba, who enjoyed callously flicking them off great heights to their doom. Large numbers of wild dwarf nunas lived in the deserts during the time of the Galactic Civil War.

As a grotesque past-time, Gungans were known to use nunas in their bloated, agitated state for sport, kicking them around like footballs. "Nuna-ball" would gain some interest in the rest of the galaxy after the Invasion of Naboo, and these creatures would be exported to many worlds for this purpose.

Nuna meat was appreciated in cookery, though some alien species, including Twi'leks and Rodians, were allergic to this meat.
