The trooshti were a species of flying insect native to the planet Tatooine where they existed in small number of colonies. With their four wings and sharp eyesight, trooshti were experts at preying on smaller insects. They were a rare sight on Tatooine and were usually shy of larger creatures and remained close to their hives. However, trooshti could venture further afield in search of prey when necessary. They could also swarm into vast, fast-moving columns in order to deter predators.[2] Trooshti appeared to be at least semi-sentient, utilizing pumps to obtain water on the desert world.[1]
