- "Sorry, Furball Two…you've got to stay here. Might be some bounty-hunting species in there that like to eat tooka cats. And I'd hate to have to kill any colleagues on my first day."
- ―Vukorah, to Furball Two
Furball Two was a Loth-cat owned by the bounty hunter Vukorah around 3 ABY after she left the Unbroken Clan criminal syndicate. The tooka accompanied Vukorah to Kirkeide Station, where the hunter hoped to acquire new work from the hybroid Syphacc. After arriving at the station, Vukorah told Furball Two to remain aboard her ship.
Furball Two, along with Vukorah's other tookas, later assisted Vukorah when she traveled to the planet Epikonia with the bounty hunter Losha Tarkon to rescue the latter's wife from the entity named the Scourge. Sometime later, after Vukorah captured a bounty, she informed the tookas they would have extra blue milk to celebrate.
Biography
Journey to Kirkeide Station
- "All right, wish mommy luck. That blue milk you all drink isn't exactly cheap."
- ―Vukorah, to her tookas
Vukorah instructing Furball Two to remain aboard her ship
Furball Two was[2] a Loth-cat[1] who lived during the Imperial Era.[2] Around 3 ABY,[4] Furball Two—along with[2] Krynthia, Losha,[5] and Purry[2]—was a litter of cats acquired by[1] the human female bounty hunter Vukorah[2] after[1] she left the Unbroken Clan criminal syndicate to start a fresh life.[6] The tooka shared their name with Furball—a nexu that belonged to the bounty hunters T'onga and Losha Tarkon—whom Vukorah had killed previously.[1]
Vukorah traveled to Kirkeide Station aboard her ship in order to register with Syphacc's Bountiful Bounties, operated by the hybroid Syphacc, as she was in need of work. The hunter told the cats to wish her luck, adding that the blue milk they drank was not cheap. When Furball Two attempted to follow Vukorah, she indicated they would need to remain on the ship, as she did not want to kill one of her new colleagues if they ate the tooka.[2]
A good kitty
- "Mama bagged another sleemo. Once we get him to Nevarro to collect—we'll have some extra blue milk to celebrate, Furball Two!"
- ―Vukorah, to her tookas
While at Kirkeide Station, Vukorah and Tarkon defeated several droids that had been infected by the entity known as the Scourge. Afterward, the two and Vukorah's tookas left for[3] the world[1] Epikonia to rescue Tarkon's wife, T'onga, and her friends. Once they arrived at Epikonia, Furball Two and the three other tookas carried thermal detonators in their mouths to where T'onga was being held prisoner, and they dropped the grenades, causing explosions. The cats then began attacking the Scourged cyborgs and[3] spider-droids,[8] with Vukorah calling them "good kitties" and saying she would give them treats.[3]
Vukorah and her tookas, including Furball Two, after she caught a bounty
Once T'onga and her friends were successfully rescued, Vukorah, Tarkon, and the four tookas fled the facility, eventually leaving Epikonia.[3] Sometime later, Vukorah was hired to collect a bounty. Once she captured the bounty, she planned to take him to[7] the Outer Rim planet[1] Nevarro to collect her payment and told her tookas—including Furball Two—that they would have extra blue milk to celebrate.[7]
Personality and traits
- "Such good kitties! Mama's gonna give you all the treats!"
- ―Vukorah, to her tookas as they attack the Scourged cyborgs and spider-droids
Furball had silver skin,[2] black eyes,[3] and lilac fur with dusty gold-colored accents and a paler underbelly. They liked to drink blue milk.[2] When Furball Two and the other tookas attacked the Scourged cyborgs and spider-droids on Epikonia, Vukorah called them good cats and said she would reward them with treats.[3]

I was wondering if you'd be able to identify which of the tookas are Purry and Furball Two please? I was also curious if you ever came up with names for the other 2 since they remained unnamed? Thanks for any help you can give!")
