Trogwhale
Trogwhales were a non-sentient species of horned animals from the planet Kintan[1] in the Kintan system[2] of the Si'Klaata Cluster in Hutt Space. The species evolved over several thousand years due to mutations caused by a large dose of radiation which originated from M'dweshuu, a star located at the heart of the Si'Klaata cluster, going nova. The species was immense in size and were considered fearsome monsters.[1] Due to the threat the trogwhales posed the sentient Nikto species, who were also native to Kintan, the Nikto drove them to extinction.[3]
