"Careful. You're disturbing my pets. They fetch a high price."

―Darts D'Nar, to Obi-Wan Kenobi^[6]

Momongs, also known as Trandoshan monkeys,^[7] were a species of primates^[2] that lived in the trees^[3] of forests^[4] on Wasskah, the moon of the planet Trandosha. They had six limbs, a long tail, big ears and green eyes. Their fur was mostly orange, with occasional black and white patches.^[3] The momongs were carnivores and aggressive hunters,^[4] preying on the yellow birds known as the convorees.^[5] They were at least semi-sentient, as proven by their ability to use simple tools or weapons.^[8] During the Clone Wars, many momongs had found their way offworld. In 20 BBY,^[9] several momongs were kept in cages in the Governor's tower by the Zygerrian Darts D'Nar after the Separatists relocated the Togruta from the planet.^[6] A momong was seen in a slave market on Zygerria, where it dueled with a Kowakian monkey-lizard with miniature swords.^[1]

Behind the scenes[]

The momongs first appeared in "Wookiee Hunt," the twenty-second episode of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series' third season.^[3] However, they were only identified as such in the online guide for the episode.^[7] At some point, the momongs were to be mentioned in Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion. However, the script was altered, and "momong" evolved into "monong," a new creature.^[10]
