During the New Republic Era, the Ithorian Misses Ikk from At Attin possessed a frogdog whom she would take for walks as part of her morning routine. A member of the loyal and attentive At Attin subspecies of the frog-dog, the individual was kept on a leash and tended to bark at noisy passers-by and invading pirate frigates.
Biography
- "Sorry, Misses Ikk!"
- ―Wim to Misses Ikk
A member of the loyal and attentive At Attin subspecies of the frog-dog,[4] the individual belonged to the Ithorian At Attin dweller, Misses Ikk, who resided in the suburbs during the New Republic Era. The woman would take[1] her[2] pet on morning walks, keeping[1] him[2] on a leash as she strolled among the neighboring households.[1]
Around 9 ABY,[5] Ikk and her frogdog were passing by Wim's home when the boy Wim suddenly rushed out of[1] his[2] garage. With a toy in his hand, he leaped over a lawnmower being pushed by a maintenance droid before he got closer to the dog,[1] mimicking starship whooshing[6] as he moved the toy around in the air. Startled by the boy, Misses Ikk's frogdog barked at him, intruding on a neighbor's lawn. When Ikk rebuked the youngling in her native Ithorese, Wim called out an apology from a distance as he hurried off to catch his school tram.[1]
Misses Ikk's frogdog startled by Wim
On the following day, the frogdog kept his owner company on another walk. Just as the pair passed by Wim's domicile, Wim left his house's garage on his hoverbike, splashing rainwater[1] as he careened unsteadily down the road.[2] Misses Ikk's frogdog barked at the boy, walking onto the streetway as the youngling moved away.[1]
Some time later, At Attin was invaded by Silvo's pirates.[3] Silvo posed a Galactic Republic emissary arriving to collect Old Republic credits which the population of At Attin produced in mints and stowed in underground vaults.[7] As an alleged emissary, the pirate was granted an audience with the Supervisor, a droid[3] responsible for overseeing the Great Work[1] of credit production. When Silvo destroyed the Supervisor to subordinate the At Attin citizens to himself, the planet was hit by a power outage. Suddenly, a pirate frigate emerged in the dark sky.[3] As the invading starship set its superlaser cannons in battle-ready position, the frogdog happened to be on a walk with his owner Ikk.[8] Looking up, the pet barked at the invaders before they launched a massive bombardment. Separated from her pet, Misses Ikk was captured by the pirates and walked away alongside other rounded-up citizens until[3] the Skeleton Crew[9] and their parents managed to contact the New Republic and disable the Barrier that kept At Attin isolated from the rest of the galaxy. When a New Republic squadron repelled the pirate invasion, power was gradually restored as the lights began to flicker back on.[3]
Personality and traits
Ikk's pet was a brown-skinned At Attin frogdog with a pair of prominent black eyes and small earholes right behind them. He was a quadruped, with three toes facing forward and one pointing backward on each foot. In addition, he had long, white teeth. A pet walked on a leash by his owner, the frogdog tended to bark at noisy passers-by[1] and unfamiliar starship invading his planet.[3]
