Kargul

The kargul was a type of worm that lived on Trindello, a cool, forested moon^[1] located in the Trindello system of the Outer Rim Territories' Moddell sector.^[2] Reaching eighty meters in length, kargul could burrow underground and did not rely on sight. The worms were nocturnal and lived in packs. They were generally shy but could become fierce opponents when agitated.^[1]

Kargul laired at the center of the clusters of gigantic trees known as Trindellan oaks, which covered the moon's surface. By the time of the Yuuzhan Vong War^[1] that lasted from 25 ABY to 29 ABY,^[2] several parties of loggers who were harvesting the valuable Trindellan oak wood had come into conflict with kargul.^[1]

Behind the scenes

The kargul was introduced in the article "Endor and the Moddell Sector," which was published in the ninth issue of the Star Wars Gamer magazine^[1] on February 22, 2002.^[3] Chris Trevas also depicted a kargul for inclusion in^[4] the 2004 Wizards of the Coast Star Wars Roleplaying Game sourcebook Ultimate Adversaries, but the creature was ultimately not featured in the book.^[5]

The illustration depicted an agitated kargul emerging from underground at a Trindellan oak logging site, with the worm being portrayed with a smooth black skin and a large mouth that had two toothed jaws and a red tongue.^[4]
