Biology and appearance
Edit
A standard tee was a rotund fish with bright-red scales,[1] its fins relatively large to its body.[1]
BehaviorEdit
Tee were known to be voracious hunters.[source?] They generally moved quite slowly, but were fast swimmers when chasing prey.[source?] Outside the safer region of the Naboo Abyss, there were much larger specimens were known to have swallowed Gungans whole.[3] Aside from Gungans, tee ate whatever they could catch and fit into their mouths, most often daggerts.[source?] Tee formed a symbiotic relationship with the smaller laa, which would enter the tee's gills to clean off and eat parasitic yobshrimp that infested their bodies.[3]
HistoryEdit
Tee were present in the waters of Lake Paonga during the Invasion of Naboo by the Trade Federation in 32 BBY.[2]
Behind the scenesEdit
The tee, along with other musically-inspired scalefish, such as the doo, ray, mee, faa, see and laa, were first introduced in the 1999 prequel trilogy film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace and associated media.
