Unidentified six-eyed aquatic creature

A six-eyed fish species dwelled in the freshwaters of planet Naboo. Such creatures were found in Lake Paonga, in the swamps near the city of Otoh Gunga.

Biology and appearance
A nonsentient fish species existed on the freshwaters of Naboo, notably dwelling in Lake Paonga. Its bulky body was covered with coral-shaped growths and moved through shades of orange and purple. It had several barbels hanging from the lower jaw and six bulging eyes. This fish had lengthy lower fangs that did't even fit in its mouth, but rather projected back close to the eyes.

History
In 32 BBY, the Gungan Jar Jar Binks offered to take the Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to his underwater city, Otoh Gunga. With the help of the Gungans, the Jedi hoped they would be able to save Naboo from the invading Trade Federation armies. When Binks dove into the murky water of Lake Paonga, he sacred away the fishes, including one of the six-eyed species.

Behind the scenes
This species was designed by Boris Vallejo for the young readers novel Dangers of the Core, published in 2000. This creature only appeared in a two-page illustration included in the first chapter of the book.
