Compared to other humanoid species, togruta are not notably predisposed to expansionism.
The eventual spread across their homeworld Shili was triggered by a great flood which forced them to leave the basin where they are believed to have first evolved into anatomically modern togruta. Some groups remained close to their homeland, named in the oldest recorded language as Shiilauh, and eventually reinhabited it once it had drained some two generations later. However, like most species, there are exceptions to the trend. The other groups had differing approaches to finding new homes, and the most expansionist individuals travelled the farthest, leading the cultures of their descendant groups to place far more emphasis on travel, exploration, and discovery.
The differing cultures within the species are still around today and the more expansionist groups are often the forerunners in interplanetary outreach and in the colonisation of otherwise uninhabited worlds such as Kiros. However, the fact that togruta have far fewer colonies than other sentient species and are almost always in an extreme minority on most worlds (compared to, for example, humans, who often make up 50% of the population of any given world) suggests that togruta are not naturally inclined to move far from their community, likely due to their history and tradition as pack-hunters.
A togruta’s montrals are hollow, containing only the sensory structures that allow them to hear and echolocate!
It is believed that sounds within a human range are mostly heard by sensors low within the montrals, near where most other humanoid species have ears. However, some studies suggest that the instinct to cover this area as a response to loud noises is one picked up from such species and has no affect other than as a placebo (which can nonetheless help).
Found: A Clone Wars Zine is a Star Wars zine that focuses on the found family relationships in Star Wars: the Clone Wars! From Darth Maul and Savage to Plo Koon and Ahsoka to Anakin and Obi-Wan to everyone that falls in between we’ve got a bit of everything and everyone!
The zine itself has over 145 pages of content! Including over 45 pieces of never before seen art, five illustrated never before read stories(one of which is fullyillustrated) and six illustrated never before made Star Wars themed recipes!!
Ahsoka and friends! ✨ Not based on any event in particular, just felt like painting a sunset scene. I drew this mostly over lunch breaks at work It was nice to mentally leave the office and visit Lothal for a few minutes every day!
