Forrian

Forrians were small, furry mammals that lived on the world Batuu. They harvested dried berries from the forest floor and had claws that they used to grip tree bark. Around 379 BBY,"Shield of the Jedi" establishes that Rooper Nitani is around eighteen years old during its events. In The High Republic: Quest for Planet X, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates the events of to 382 BBY, Nitani is fifteen years old. Therefore, "Shield of the Jedi" must take place around 379 BBY. Jedi Padawan Rooper Nitani encountered forrians when she climbed into the canopy of a forest on Batuu while searching for a shield belonging to her Master, Silandra Sho, who had tasked her with finding the shield as part of her Jedi Trials. Nitani's presence caused the forrians to become nervous, so she attempted to give off calming vibes in order to avoid the forrians attacking her with their claws.
