Frog-dogs were a sentient species of lizard that, at first glance, were usually thought to be non-sentient[3] and were often mistaken for pests.[4] They often used this fact to their advantage, allowing prosperous masters to keep them as pets to secure themselves shelter and a constant supply of food. They were often ignored, and could therefore sneak unnoticed into palaces or ships and complete secretive tasks.[3] The Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure kept the Frog-dog known as Buboicullaar as a pet, despite his sentience, and used him to spy on his many courtiers.[1] Buboicullaar protected the Hutt from many assassination attempts.[3] Frog-dogs like Bubo could pull 119 kilograms, or 262 pounds, with their tongue.[1]
