- "They seem cute and cuddly, but they have a mean streak a kilometer wide."
"That's what makes them so great. They are just as nature made them." - ―Nyla Quinn and Imri Cantaros
Tookas, also called tooka-cats or Adoris Felines, were a subspecies of feline cats.[10] They were popular as pets as the carnivores ate many unwanted pests,[5] but were also considered by many to be feral nuisances themselves. When properly trained, they could be excellent hunters of pests.[10] One specific breed of tooka was the Loth-cat, native to the planet Lothal.[11] Tooka were known to enjoy milk.[8] Tooka were common in the underworld of Coruscant, where they hunted nuna.
Biology and appearance[]
- "I am not equipped or programed to complete that request."
"You're telling me that you can't pick up a little tooka poop?"
"That is what I am telling you. Also, it is not a little. It is a lot of tooka… waste material." - ―K-2SO and Mayvlin Trillick
The Loth-cat was a type of tooka.
Tookas were a type of small feline creature.[1] The saying "tooka cat that ate the bulabird" referred to a person who appeared self-satisfied or smug.[13] The saying "a took got your tongue?" was used to encourage someone who was being unusually quiet, to speak out.[14] "Look what the tooka dragged in" was used to call attention to someone who had entered an area,[15] while "the tooka's out of the bag" meant that a secret had become known.[16]
Behind the scenes[]
- "Cats in Star Wars, why not?"
- ―Dave Filoni
Tookas first appeared in the Star Wars franchise as "Adoris feline" in Otherspace, an adventure for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. Though this title is now part of Star Wars Legends, tookas were introduced into the Star Wars canon in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, first as a stuffed toy and later as the actual creature. They were named after Dave Filoni's deceased cat, Tuuk.[17] The StarWars.com Encyclopedia connected the Adoris feline to Tookas in its subhead subtitle, also making that name canon.[10]
In non-canon stories[]
In Ronin: A Visions Novel, the Traveler has a tooka cat named Kyuu.[18]
