Borgle bat

"Borgles are more than mean. It's like they're evil right down to their core. Maybe because of all the time they spend in their caves, in the dark."

―Fingers^[4]

Borgle bats were large, nocturnal creatures native to the caves of Rori, one of the moons of Naboo. Being carnivorous creatures, they were known for capturing living prey and bringing them back to their warrens, where they would slowly drain the bodies of blood. They would then stack the bones of their victims in large cairns within their prescribed nesting area.

The borgles were not believed to be originally native to Rori. Their homeworld was a mystery, but they also occurred on Endor.

History

"You must help me! My husband was telling our kids about the caves filled with Borgles, and it seems they went off to go see the caves firsthand. I'm afraid the worst has happened to them!"

―A commoner, to a spacer^[5]

During the Galactic Civil War, a colony made of an extraordinary number of borgle bats lived in a cave on the Nabooian moon of Rori.^[2]

Brave animal handlers would often attempt to capture borgle bats for the use of arena pit-fighting. The Zabrak "Fingers" specialized in borgle-wrangling lost fingers to an unmanageable Borgle. In 1 ABY the Imperial bioengineers known as Dusque Mistflier and Tendau Nandon traveled to Rori to explore the Borgle bat caves. They discovered an oversized female Borgle bat protecting a nest for their young.^[4]
