Biology and appearance[edit | edit source]
The Mythrol had amphibious traits such as gills and fins on their heads. They had thoraxes which had to be "evacuated" and could molt. Young Mythrol could produce a sweet musk.[1] After molting, their faces would become barbed.[2] Mythrol at a younger age were referred to as "fledglings."[1]
Mythrol in the galaxy[edit | edit source]
Around 82 BBY[3] towards the end of the High Republic Era, a Mythrol male worked as a chef for President Jamie Brasen at his estate on the planet of Begamore.[4]
In 9 ABY,[5] a fledgling Mythrol resided on the ice planet Maldo Kreis within a bar, where he was harassed by a group of trawlers until the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin entered. After dealing with the trawlers, Djarin captured the Mythrol and turned him over to the Bounty Hunters' Guild.[1]
In 35 ABY,[6] the post-fledgling Mythrol Junn Gobint managed fuel supplies for the Resistance[2] during their war against the First Order.[7]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The Mythrol species first appeared in Chapter 1 of Jon Favreau's 2019 Disney+ television series The Mandalorian,[1] which aired on November 12, 2019.[8] While writing the visual dictionary for the 2019 film Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker, Lucasfilm Story Group member Pablo Hidalgo made a connection between The Mandalorian's Mythrol and the similar looking background alien Junn Gobint in Episode IX. Taking the television character's background as a "fledgling" into account, Hidalgo established in the dictionary that the independently designed aliens belonged to the same species.[2][9]

SWCC 2019: 9 Things We Learned from The Mandalorian Panel on StarWars.com (backup link), the events of The Mandalorian take place about five years after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 4 ABY. Therefore, it can be deduced with simple math that the events of The Mandalorian take place around 9 ABY.
- ↑ Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary dates the events of Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker as taking place one year after the "Starkiller Incident." As Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the Starkiller Incident to 34 ABY, it can be deduced the events of Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker take place in 35 ABY.

Phil Szostak (@PhilSzostak) on Twitter: "Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe they were developed by separate teams independently of each other, with @pablohidalgo making the connection when he wrote The TROS Visual Dictionary. Since the Mando Mythrol had more backstory, that one drove the narrative." (backup link)
