Qartuums were a goat-like species that inhabited the planet Nevarro.

Biology and appearance

A species of hoofed quadrupeds about the size of a goat,[1] Qartuums[3] had long patches of hair on several areas of their body, including their belly, spine, and throat. They also had large protruding eyes and a small horn on their forehead.[1]

History

In 9 ABY,[4] Din Djarin, Carasynthia Dune, Kuiil, Greef Karga, and three other bounty hunters passed a member of the species while travelling across Nevarro's lava fields.[1]

Behind the scenes

"Again, you ask yourself, 'What would Phill Tippett design for something like this?' He is so great at doing 'ugly-cute.'"
―Christian Alzmann[3]

Qartuums appeared in "Chapter 7: The Reckoning," an episode of the first season of Jon Favreau's television series Star Wars: The Mandalorian. The episode was directed by Deborah Chow and aired on Disney+[1] on December 18, 2019.[5] The creatures were later identified as Qartuums in an illustration by Phil Tippett in the 2020 reference book The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season One.[3]

In addition, SWInsider "A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian must all be set in 9 ABY as well.
