'''Portuguese men-o'-war''' were creatures that bore a distinct physical resemblance to the [[Oswaft]], given both species' shared attributes of tentacular ribbons hanging from their ventral sides and the perfect glassy transparency, with hints and flashes of inner color, of their bodies.

==Behind the scenes==
{{Quote|He was large for a young adult, although there were Elders of his species twice his size and mass. An alien observer in a different place and time would have pointed out his resemblance to an enormous manta ray-broad and streamlined, powerfully winged, and somehow pleasingly sinister. His sleek dorsal surface was domed high with muscle. Others would have been reminded of the Portuguese man-o'-war, seeing the spectacular ribbons hanging from his ventral side, marveling at the perfect glassy transparency of his body with its hints and flashes of inner color.|''[[Lando Calrissian and the Starcave of ThonBoka]]''|<ref name="Lando Calrissian and the Starcave of ThonBoka">''[[Lando Calrissian and the Starcave of ThonBoka]]''</ref>}}
This quote is the only mention of the Portuguese man-o'-war, but it is not clear if it was meant to be out-of-universe or not.

In Part 2 of ''[[Barely Tolerable: Alien Henchmen of the Empire]]'' by [[Abel G. Peña]], the planet [[Portug]] was included as a reference to a {{Srlink|Wookieepedia:Votes_for_deletion/Portuguese_man-o'-war|discussion on the validity of this article}} on the ''Star Wars'' fan wiki [[Wookieepedia]].
