Needlegawps were a species of black eyed scalefin fish with several varieties including the silver-colored sleek needlegawp and the green spotted, yellow skinned speckled needlegawp. The fish were found in the oceans of the planets Corellia and Ahch-To[2] were they were caught by the fisherman of Coronet City[1] and the Lanai Caretakers respectively.[2] In around 34 ABY,[3] the Caretakers had one sleek needlegawp and one speckled needlegawp strung up on a drying rack in the Jedi village on Ahch-To when the Jedi Rey fired a blaster through the wall of the village hut she was staying in.[2]
