Ray / Legends The ray was a non - sentient , predatory scalefish native to the oceans of the Mid Rim planet Naboo and , after being introduced there , Naboo ' s moon Ohma - D ' un . Rays teemed around the underwater city of Otoh Gunga , home to the Gungan species . Blue in color , rays were considered fast swimmers and impressive leapers due to a pronounced crescent - shaped caudal fin located at the back of their bodies . Biology and appearance . The ray was a non - sentient , long - bodied predatory scalefish that possessed sharp teeth ; large , wispy frontal fins ; and stubby tail fins , as well as a large , crescent - shaped caudal fin . Rays were considered to be good swimmers , thanks to the powerful caudal fin . The large head and wide mouth dominated much of the body and were able to distend to hold the carnivorous fish ' s prey . They were visually colorful , with blue scales , a white belly , and red - and - yellow eyes . Behavior . The ray was one of the many prey of the opee sea killer , a larger sea creature native to the depths of Naboo . Several rays could be snatched by the tongue of the opee as it hunted . They were also fed upon by diving aiwhas . On Naboo , rays were found in the Naboo Abyss . They were especially abundant around the underwater Gungan city of Otoh Gunga , but they favored open waters and surface oceans . Though they were attracted by the lights of Otoh Gunga , they knew by experience not to swim through the gelatin ous substance that led to the air - filled chambers . Both the Gungans and Humans , known as the Naboo on the Mid Rim world , considered the ray an excellent sportfish , as it put up a strong fight and often made spectacular leaps from the water . History . Rays were native to the Mid Rim planet Naboo , and were also introduced to its moon Ohma - D ' un as part of a Gungan colonization effort after the Invasion of Naboo , which occurred in 32 BBY . They were present as Jedi Master Qui - Gon Jinn ; his Padawan , Obi - Wan Kenobi ; and the Gungan Jar Jar Binks swam down to the city of Otoh Gunga to speak with Gungan representatives . After the events of the Invasion of Naboo , the fish was introduced to Ohma - D ' un . Rays in the galaxy . In 20 BBY , rays , along with mee , faa , and laa , were present in a holding tank aboard the " Titavian IV " , an exploration vessel formerly operated by the Intergalactic Zoological Society on Mycroft , whose mission was to gather and catalog specimens from across the galaxy .
