Teebo ' s fish friend Teebo ' s fish friend was a sentient talking fish native to the Forest Moon of Endor . The fish took a home in a lake on the forest moon sometime before or during the Rebellion era , and had an encounter with King Elbo at one point , perhaps even going to the king ' s Coral Castle at the bottom of the sea . He passed this information to three Ewoks — Wicket , Teebo , and Kneesaa — after their friend , Latara would be kidnapped by the king . The fish created a sea bubble for the three Ewoks to travel in , as Ewoks could not travel to the bottom of the sea without air . The Ewoks were hesitant at first , displeased with the simpleness of the bubble , but after Wicket stepped into the bubble , the other two followed and they eventually traveled to Coral Castle . Later , they rescued Latara from Elbo after negotiating with him . Biography . In the Lake . The Teebo ' s fish friend lived in an Endor ocean around 3 ABY . The general consensus of Ewoks was that the fish was abnormally small . Sometime before his meeting with the three Ewoks , the talking fish had at least one encounter with the supposed king of the sea , Elbo . During this encounter , the fish saw Elbo do one of the king ' s greediness tests , and later the fish saw Elbo ' s home , the Coral Castle . Also , sometime before his encounter with the Ewoks , the fish learned how to make a sea bubble , a round , air - filled sphere that had enough room to fit three Ewoks . The fish could create a bubble by inflating himself full of air and then deflating himself in the water , creating a sea bubble . It is unknown if he used this form of transportation prior to making it for the Ewoks . Helping the Ewoks . In 3 ABY , Kneesaa , an Ewok princess , accidentally dropped her ankle bracelet into the water . Elbo appeared to her and showed her three bracelets — one that was hers and two others . After correctly identifying her bracelet and resisting the temptation to lie about more attractive ones , she received all three . Later , Latara , another Ewok , heard of this story and decided to test it . She purposely dropped her flute into the water , and lied to Elbo . Elbo kidnapped Latara just as Wicket , Teebo , and Kneesaa arrived . They tried to come up with a solution quickly , but it was Teebo who acted . Teebo , hearing of legends of sea monsters in the water , allowed himself to float and make noises in the water . Responding to his call , the Teebo ' s fish friend surfaced and greeted the Ewoks . The Ewoks explained their problem to the fish , and he recalled his information of Elbo and the Coral Castle to the three Ewoks . After deciding to rescue the helpless Latara , the fish made a sea bubble in which they traveled . Later , the three Ewoks were successful in their mission and rescued Latara . Personality and traits . Teebo ' s fish friend was considered small by many Ewoks , but the fish did not let that stop him from helping taller individuals . He could be summoned for help by making sound and movement in the water , as one Ewok , Teebo , did . The fish ' s physical appearance had green scales and red fins , with yellow eyes . He was able to create a sea bubble by inflating himself with air and then releasing that air into the water , creating a sphere that held the air . This bubble could be traveled in , but could not touch a sharp object or the bubble would pop . Behind the scenes . The Teebo ' s fish friend was created by Bob Carrau for use in the seventeenth episode of the second season of " " , titled " The Tragic Flute . " In the episode , the talking fish ' s only purpose was to give the three Ewoks a form of transportation to get to the Coral Castle . It is unknown if this fish was related to other species of fish on Endor , such as the buzzfish or the piranha , although it is likely they have some relation .
