"WICKET!"

- Kneesaa and Latara, after Wicket frightens the creature away

An umbrella-like creature lived on the Forest Moon of Endor. In 3 ABY, the Ewoks Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka and Latara used one for shade as they rested on a beach, but the creature was frightened away by Wicket Wystri Warrick, who splashed it with water.

Biology and appearance
The umbrella-like creature had two long purple legs, each one having a two-toed clawed foot. Its head, which held two white eyes with black pupils, was wide like an umbrella, and was striped blue and red.

History
The creature lived on the Forest Moon of Endor, a moon with a wide variety of terrains. In 3 ABY, the Ewoks Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka and Latara used one of the creatures for protection from the sun while they rested on the beach of a pond near the forest. However, when Wicket Wystri Warrick leaped into the pond, using a water lily to surf through the otherwise peaceful water, the creature became frightened. It let out a shriek before retreating into the forest as Latara and Kintaka chided Warrick.
