Unidentified green creature

Nogs were creatures who inhabited a swampy planet that was visited by the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker sometime during the Clone Wars, an intergalactic event that started during 22 BBY. The creatures generally lived in packs, and they were known to continuously make a sound that sounded like "nog" over and over again. WHen investigating the said planet, Kenobi and Skywalker were warned by a B1 battle droid to run, as the droid was being chased by a large number of nogs. The creatures also chased Kenobi and Skywalker, until the Jedi were able to escape them by running over a log that stretched across a canyon. When one of the nogs tried to cross as well, the log snapped, sending the nog to its death below. Nogs had green skin and large yellow-green eyes. They moved about on four large limbs, though they could also run solely on their hind legs for a short duration. Nogs also had a mouthful of sharp pointed teeth, and would hunt anything smaller than themselves, including droids.

Behind the scenes
Nogs first appeared in the short story Creature Comfort, one of four stories compiled into the seventh volume of the Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures trade paperback series. Creature Comfort was written and illustrated by Matthew and Shawn Fillbach. The comic was colored by Ronda Pattison. It should be noted that Nog may not be the correct name for these creatures, as it is never explicitly stated in the story. THe name comes from the sound effect they made throughout their appearance. In the comic book Jabba the Hutt: The Dynasty Trap, Nogs are mentioned as being predators from the planet Smarteel. In Comfort, the name of the planet is never revealed and it is unknown whether the creature in this article is in fact a true nog.
