The Gorog was a gargantuan beast used in the Tarko-Se Arena on Cato Neimoidia. The immense, bipedal creature possessed a hunched stance, two clawed forearms, two hearts, and four tusks protruding from its lower jaw.

Attributes
A Gorog was a creature of immense size and strength, and could easily clutch a rancor with one hand.

History
One such Gorog was held in the Tarko-se Tarko-se Arena on Cato Neimoidia. It was released by orders of Baron Merillion Tarko to confront the clone of Galen Marek, despite protests from a Neimoidian aide that the arena's restraints hadn't been tested yet.

Starkiller engaged the giant beast in combat and was able to restrain it for a short time, but after Starkiller attacked the Gorog's head, the creature broke free and destroyed the arena's supports. The clone of Starkiller was able to escape and, along with Rahm Kota, confronted Baron Tarko. However, the Gorog destroyed the platform they were on, devoured the Baron, and grabbed General Kota. Following that, the Gorog fell into the arena. The entire structure collapsed under the creature's weight and also tumbled down into the depths.

Starkiller jumped after the creature and, after a longer struggle while falling, he was able to hurt the Gorog. He then used the Force to burst through the creature's torso and caused the Gorog to release Kota from its grip. Kota was able to use a device to call the Rogue Shadow and escape with Starkiller. The Gorog's carcass then fell into one of Cato Neimoidia's canyons.



While following the wake of destruction caused by Marek's clone, the battered Gorog's remains were found by bounty hunters Boba Fett and Xasha. The creature revived suddenly and, despite already being grievously injured, aggressively began to attack the two mercenaries. Fett, having scanned the creature, identified a second heart within the Gorog. Fett fired a back-mounted rocket at the Gorog's heart and used his jetpack to fly through the gaping wound in the creature's torso, finally killing the beast.

Behind the scenes
This beast is referred to as a "morloch" within a French gaming magazine.
