Nakha Urus

Nakha Urus was a male Dug who served as the Doge of Malastare during the Clone Wars. He was waiting for the arrival of his fellow council members to sign a treaty between the Republic and the Dugs when the Zillo Beast attacked. Upon realizing what this creature was, he went to gather an ancient scroll, left by his ancestors, depicting that one day the Zillo Beast would return and become the cause of their extinction.
==Biography==
During the Battle of Malastare, Urus was supportive of the use of the Electro-proton bomb until it was discovered it had awoken the last Zillo Beast, an event greatly feared by the Dugs. He planned to kill the creature, but Jedi Master Mace Windu objected citing that if the Zillo Beast was the last of its kind, it should not be eradicated. Urus in response threatened to reject signing the treaty that would give the Republic access to the planet's fuel reserves. Urus and his fellow council members studied a manuscript and found the Zillo Beast's vulnerability to the fuel. However, when they attempted to use it to kill the beast, it merely angered it, to the point that it left the sinkhole, to wreak havoc on Malastare. Eventually, he was happy to let the Jedi subdue the creature, which unbeknownst to him was merely incaptiated in a deep sleep, so the Chancellor could study it on Coruscant. After the Zillo Beast was defeated, Urus and his fellow council members signed the treaty.
==Personality and traits==
Nakha Urus was a male Dug who was 1.12 meters (3 feet, 8 inches) tall, with brown eyes and 
and brown skin. Urus cared dearly for his people and Malastare's ecosystem. This caused him to be reluctant at first to allow the bomb to be used as he feared it would harm both of them. Urus was willing to provide the Galactic Republic with Malastere's fuel resources, but only if the Republic would help the Dugs against threats to them, which caused him to deny the Republic Malastare's fuel resources unless the Zillo Beast was killed.
==Skills and abilities==
Urus was skilled leader, ruling as the Doge of Malastare. He was also known for intimidation, a skill he utilized in an attempt to convince Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu to help his people kill the rampant Zillo Beast.
==Behind the scenes==
Nakha Urus first appeared in the "The Zillo Beast," the eighteenth episode of the second season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
