Otta

The Otta was a small, mammalian predator native to the Gungan swamps of Naboo.



Ottas were curious, intelligent, and playful. They had a flexible spine for limber movement in and out of water and always being in motion, these swift water creatures outswam their predators and nearly always caught their prey.

The Otta would hunt fish: Ollopoms (typical prey), Tookes, and Pom-Hoppers. Ottas would also love to crack open Nyorks with rocks on their chests.

Single young would often cling to the mother's belly.

Behind the scenes
The Otta's name and appearance are likely derived from the real world Otter.

The fact that Ottas crack open Nyorks on their chest using rocks is most likely derived from Earth's Sea Otters crack open clams on their stomach in the same way.
