Togruta/Legends

The Togruta were a humanoid species from the planet Shili. In order to protect themselves from dangerous predators, the Togruta would band together in dense tribes and rely solely on their natural pigmentation to disrupt and confuse slow-witted beasts.

Physiology
Togruta had mostly red skin, with lighter patches around the eyes. Their heads bore large horns and several tentacles similar to Twi'lek lekku, with a bold striped pattern. Also of note is their ability to sense space and the proximity and movement of physical objects around them by means of their hollow montrals which detect space ultrasonically.

As predators, Togrutas had sharp teeth, and when they bit into their furry little quarry, the creature's postmortem spasms gave the impression that their kind was venomous, which was not true. However, they did nothing to dispel the fact, as Togrutas took advantage of the intimidating presence it gave them.

Some Togruta refer to Twi'leks as their "distant cousins." Unlike Twi'leks, the lekku of a Togruta are often rumored to be hollow in certain spots. The hollow spots are believed to be used to gather information.

Togruta have a strong sense of unity and togetherness. On their native homeworld, they rely on each other and band together to take a stand against the massive monsters that hunt them. It is said that the creatures of their homeworld most often attack in groups which is even more reason for the native Togruta to work together in a group.

While the hollow montrals of a Togruta are used for intense hearing, they are also utilized as protection. As for the white markings surrounding their eyes, they are used to denote from what clan the Togruta is from, what their rank is in the society and possibly for religious appeal.

At a young time of a Togruta's life, their montrals aren't yet full grown and their third headtail isn't fully formed. In adolescence is when their montrals grow to become curved yet twisted and when their third headtail grows, reaching the length of their main lekku.

It is suggested that the montrals are utilized mostly in ritual combat and that they are capable to speak the Twi'lek language of Lekku.
