Blurrg

The **blurrgs** were a two-legged reptilian species that lived on the plains of the forest moon of Endor, as well as the planet Ryloth.

They were used by the Sanyassan Marauders living on that moon to do their heavy labor. The Sanyassans originally used them as attack creatures, but they were too calm and slow while carrying cargo, so they used them as beasts of burden instead. They controlled them with spiked chain bridles, riding on their backs with stiff saddles. Blurrgs were notably used by the Twi'lek Resistance and Free Ryloth Movement during the Clone Wars and the Imperial Era. They were also corralled by the moisture farmer Kuiil on Arvala-7.

## Characteristics

Blurrgs were a two-legged non-sentient reptilian species that were used as beasts of burden on a number of worlds located across the galaxy, including Endor and Ryloth. Blurrgs had two short arms that had two fingers with claws, and a thick tail that helped them balance. The creatures possessed large mouths and many sharp teeth that could chew through most materials, including grasses and weeds, though they were not strictly herbivores and were known to consume other organisms, even members of their own kind. The hip joint that connected their stocky hind legs to their body was unusually high up on a blurrg's body. They stood around 2.5 to 3 meters tall.

The blurrg's huge mouth could chew through almost anything edible, which made it perfect for clearing savanna grass, weeds, and saplings. Blurrgs were strong, fast, but stupid—so much so that they walked right into small trees, knocking them down. Their brain was the size of a jubba nut.

The egg-laying creatures usually produced five or six babies at a time. In their early years, babies stayed very close to their mothers for protection from Boar-wolves. Blurrgs communicated through a series of low roars. They were vicious when driven to a fury, and reputedly noisy when agitated.

Blurrgs were typically dark in coloration, ranging from a dark blue, green, or gray, to brown and black, but also featured a lighter mottled pattern that could be shades of lighter blue or orange. Rebel leader Cham Syndulla's blurrg had white markings on its head.

Despite their awkward appearance, blurrgs could run very fast. During the Battle of Ryloth, blurrgs easily outpaced the All Terrain Reconnaissance Transports used by the Republic's Lightning Squadron, which could top out at 75 kph on flat terrain, as well as reportedly being able to match the velocity of Imperial speeders.

## History

In between 7 ABY and 8 ABY, a Balnab rode a Blurrg as part of a team of seven mercenaries who were hired to kill Boba Fett on Ryloth.

By 9 ABY, the Ugnaught Kuiil had a small moisture farm on the planet Arvala-7 where he kept several tamed blurrgs that he used for transportation across the difficult terrain. When the bounty hunter Din Djarin traveled to Arvala-7 after taking a job from the Client, he met Kuiil, who helped him learn to ride before loaning him a blurrg to use for travel. Later, when Djarin returned to Kuiil's farm to ask the Ugnaught that he accompany him to Nevarro on a mission, Kuiil agreed to join him when Djarin allowed him to bring his blurrgs along. The creatures would sit in the cargo hold of the *Razor Crest*. During the mission, the blurrgs were killed when the group was attacked by several native reptavians. Later, Kuiil traveled with Grogu back to the *Razor Crest* on the remaining blurrg, but was run down by scout troopers, who killed Kuiil and his blurrg before taking Grogu back to the city.
