Gualaar

This article is about the triple-horned animal from Naboo.
You may be looking for the dual-horned guarlara (tuskless) or gualama (tusked).

The gualaar was an ungulate species indigenous to the mountains and hills of Naboo.^[1] Related to the gualama,^[3] it was a tall, heavy-bodied beast that possessed horns and white fur.^[1]

Domesticated a long time ago by the Naboo, the gualaar's build and strength made them perfect beasts of burden. The Royal House of Naboo kept a herd of gualaar that were used to carry state officials.^[1] They were also trained to pull carriages during funerals and weddings.^[2]

In 19 BBY, shortly after the end of the Clone Wars,^[4] four gualaar pulled the carriage of Senator Padmé Amidala in the streets of Theed during her funeral procession.^[5]
