Morag was a Tulgah sorceress who resided on the forest moon of Endor. The sworn enemy of the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village, she once stole from them a powerful artifact, the Sunstar-Shadowstone, believing that it would help her conquer the forest moon. During the theft, she was opposed by the Ewok Logray, and, amused by his antics, she brought the Ewok back to her fortress on Mount Thunderstone to act as her servant. However, this proved to be her undoing, as before she could use the artifact, the stone was broken in half by her Ewok servant. Logray escaped the witch's lair with the light half of the stone, the "Sunstar," and used the powers he had learned from watching Morag to protect Bright Tree Village. Morag held a personal grudge against the Ewok shaman, and constantly sought revenge, hoping to destroy the Ewoks and gain possession of the other half of the stone. With the dark side of the artifact, the Shadowstone, embedded in her magical staff, Morag menaced the Ewoks for nearly two hundred years. Although Morag sometimes won minor victories over the Ewoks, Logray was able to keep his people from total destruction.

Around 3 ABY, Morag implemented a number of plots to destroy Bright Tree Village, enlisting the aid of local Phlogs for some and coercing the Duloks into helping with others. During this time, she was often foiled by the efforts of the Ewok Wicket W. Warrick and his friends, who kept Morag from any lasting success. However, she eventually found her chance to confront Logray by exploiting the carelessness of the young Ewok children. Kidnapping Wicket and his friends, Teebo, Latara, and Princess Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka, she ransomed the group in exchange for the Sunstar. In a confrontation at her lair, Morag overpowered the Ewok shaman, obtaining the Sunstar and finally reuniting the two broken halves. However, the resulting power surge collapsed her fortress, and activated the volcano within Mount Thunderstone. Only the power of the Sunstar saved Morag from death, instead transforming her into an imposing lava creature. As Morag attempted to finish off her old nemesis, Logray activated a geyser of water, freezing Morag into a statue of stone. With one final attempt to destroy the Ewoks, Morag lunged for Logray but collapsed into a pile of rubble.
