The gualaar was an ungulate species indigenous to the mountains and hills of Naboo.[1] Related to the gualama,[3] it was a tall, heavy-bodied beast that possessed horns and white fur.[1]
Four gualaar pulling Padmé Amidala's funeral carriage.
Domesticated a long time ago by the Naboo, the gualaar's build and strength made them perfect beasts of burden. The Royal House of Naboo kept a herd of gualaar that were used to carry state officials.[1] They were also trained to pull carriages during funerals and weddings.[2]
In 19 BBY, shortly after the end of the Clone Wars,[4] four gualaar pulled the carriage of Senator Padmé Amidala in the streets of Theed during her funeral procession.[5]
Behind the scenes
Edit
The gualaar first appeared in the Revenge of the Sith novel adaptation, which was written by Matthew Stover and published by Del Rey on April 2, 2005.[6] They were described as "beautiful white beasts" in the Episode III screenplay.[7]
