The Holographic Museum of Extinct Animals was a museum in Galactic City, the ecumenopolis that covered the planet Coruscant. It displayed several extinct creatures, including the mantabog of^[1] the planet^[2] Malastare.^[1] Around 9 ABY,^[3] a taxi droid recommended a day trip to the museum to Doctor Penn Pershing, a new arrival to Corsucant that the droid was driving from the Galaxies Opera House to Amnesty Housing. The droid claimed to have found several of the creatures on display at the museum fascinating and began to speak about the mantabog before the conversation was interrupted by their arrival at the housing's landing bay.^[1]
