Shiro/Legends

This hard-shelled, benign, slow-moving reptile is native to the Gungan swaps of Naboo

The Shiros main defense was its spiny shell which it would go into.

It feeds on mintri, zael, grahn vine, chak root, and occasional mud-dwelling crustaceans and mollusks.Shiros are very popular with Gungan cooks.

Shiros roll in mud and collect dirt and seeds between shell ridges. Tooke-trap plants grow and flourish in these soil pockets creating symbiotic  shiro-traps. The Tooke-plants can also provide camouflage for Shiros from predators especially from the Saw-toothed grank which is the Shiros main predator because it could break through thogh shells.

Shiros also provided locomotion back for the Tooke-traps.
