Togruta

Togruta were a near-human species hailing from the planet Shili. During the Clone Wars, they appeared to be scarce, but the few notable ones were Jedi, including Jedi High Council member Shaak Ti and Padawan Ahsoka Tano.

The Togruta had skin colors ranging from red to shades of orange or yellow. A series of white markings also adorned parts of the face and body. The horn-like projections from their heads were known as montrals. These montrals were connected to three lekku, a part of their anatomy shared with a fellow near-human species known as the Twi'leks and similar to the tendrils that Nautolans possessed. However, unlike Twi'leks and Nautolans, Togruta montrals and lekku were not fleshy and did not contain portions of brain or sensory glands; rather they were hollow which allowed them to use echolocation to hear, sensing and feeling movement and vibrations around them. These montrals and lekku usually adorned colourful stripes and grew until they reached maturity at the end of a Togruta's puberty. The montrals and lekku of female Togruta tended to grow longer than that of the males.
