Ithorian/Legends

"Ithorians. Four throats. Quite powerful." "So I've heard."

- Shaak Ti and Palpatine, after Roron Corobb destroyed a corridor with his voice.

Ithorians were a species of intelligent herbivores from the planet Ithor. They were commonly called "Hammerheads" because of their long, curving neck and T-shaped head. They found this nickname offensive.

Ithorians had two mouths, four throats, and glossy, brown flesh. In general, they were devoted environmentalists, staunch herbivores, and complete pacifists. Many became galactic traders who peacefully traveled the stars in giant herd ships. They would only resort to violence if threatened. Because of their mild demeanor, most Ithorians avoided the Galactic Civil War, although a few joined the Rebel Alliance.



Ithorians were natives of the planet Ithor, a lush world with sprawling rain forests. The Ithorians worshipped Mother Jungle, and long ago vowed never to desecrate their planet. Once they discovered repulsorlift technology, the Ithorians built expansive "herdships" floating in the skies above their homeworld. The species migrated to these platforms, ensuring that Ithor would remain pristine forever. These herdships eventually were given the ability to travel across interstellar distances. The Ithorian people were led by their high priest.

Abroad, Ithorians integrated well with the galactic community. Their own language was incredibly beautiful, yet difficult to learn, as the Ithorians had twin mouths on opposite sides of their necks. Fortunately, they could speak Basic, albeit with a strange accent. Each Ithorian herd was presided over by a Force-sensitive individual who served as both a priest and healer.



The Ithorians were crucial to the efforts to restore planets that had been devestated by the Mandalorian and Jedi Civil War, such as Telos.

An Ithorian, an exile named Momaw Nadon, was present in the Mos Eisley Cantina shortly before the Battle of Yavin.

Ithorian Jedi could also create devastating shock waves with their four throats. They blew out air with extreme power, enough to destroy walls and shatter iron. This technique was used twice by Jedi Master Roron Corobb, to stop General Grievous abducting Chancellor Palpatine.

During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Ithor was destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong as part of their invasion plan. They chose to destroy this planet, even though it was a lush jungle world, because one of the trees grown their can cause their Vonduun Crab Armor to expand rapidly, killing the Warrior. Many years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Leia Organa Solo convinced Chief of State Cal Omas to allow the Ithorians to resettle on the planet Borao in the Inner Rim over RePlanetHab, a large reconstruction conglomerate.
