'''Ko&#39;lek''' was a [[Twi'lek/Legends|Twi'lek]] [[Gender/Legends|male]] from Twi'lek mythology who belonged to the [[Lek clan]]. According to folk stories, at a time before the three moons of [[Ryloth/Legends|Ryloth]] glowed with the red light of the [[Ryloth (star)/Legends|sun]], Ko'lek found a hidden passageway that, unbeknownst to him, led to a settlement of the rival [[Rha clan]]. After following the secret passage for hours, using a [[glow-fungus]] lantern to guide himself, Ko'lek ended up in the kitchen of a warren belonging to the Rha clan.

Not knowing where he was, Ko'lek hid behind a bin of [[Munch-fungus/Legends|munch-fungus]] in an alcove, waiting for the the women cooking at the clan's great furnaces to leave, so that he could snatch some [[funge-bread]] for himself. It was then that he met [[Oo'rha]], as she came back to retrieve the forgotten loaves of funge-bread. Oo'rha, ignoring the fact that Ko'lek was from a warring clan, helped him to hide, as she found him handsome.

The two soon fell in love, keeping their relationship a secret from everyone else. One day, after Ko'lek took Oo'rha through a tunnel that led to an ancient balcony near the top of the [[Lonely Third]] for a view of the mountains, a sudden [[heat storm]] ignited, killing both of them instantly.

The story of Ko'lek and Oo'rha became a popular cautionary tale among Twi'lek mothers in [[Kala'uun/Legends|Kala'uun]] to discourage their children from wandering about the hidden passageways in clan warrens.
