Nexu/Legends



Nexu were feline creatures native to the forest of Indona, on the planet Cholganna. Forest nexu had a set of eyes able to view in infrared wavelength, aiding in their hunting. They were often exported and trained as security beasts, as used for patrolling on Malastare, or used in arena combat, as seen on Geonosis.

The nexu appeared to be cat-like in nature, with claws which could slice a Human in half. They had spikes along their back, and a long tail. They had extremely sharp instincts and reflexes, although they were known to tire easily, and often used fast movements to finish an enemy quickly.

On 32 BBY, after the Invasion of Naboo by the Trade Federation, the famous bounty hunter Jango Fett faced a lot of ferocious nexus in his visit on Malastare, during his hunt for Komari Vosa.



A nexu was used during the attempted execution of Padmé Amidala prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars, and its actions could be considered typical of the species. It would strike, then return to the ground quickly, waiting to see if its enemy would strike back. It was an extremely aggressive creature, snapping and clawing in the general direction of Padmé Amidala. When a Geonosian guard attempted to direct it with a blast from his electropole, this only served to irritate the creature further and the Geonosian guard was quickly devoured. An agile hunter that sacrificed bone mass for speed, a kick from Amidala knocked the nexu down and caused it to limp. A final ram from a reek finished it off.
