"I believe this tree is talking to us."

―C-3PO, to R2-D2^[1]

Kindalo were a species of tall, bioluminescent, tree-like sentients who could be found in the subterranean caverns of the planet Aleen. The air on the surface of Aleen was poisonous to those botanical beings, who guarded the passages between the two biotopes and were capable of provoking groundquakes to seal any breaches.^[1]

At one time, there was conflict between the Kindalo and the Aleena, but the fighting ended in an agreement that left the Aleena the surface and the Kindalo the underground. The Kindalo's government was unique to their species, as they only took action at a societal level if every Kindalo agreed. This led some off-world xenobiologists to believe that the total Kindalo population was small.^[3]

At some point during the Clone Wars, the droid partners C-3PO and R2-D2 fell into the underworld, where they encountered four Kindalo,^[1] who through their collective decision-making.^[4] directed them to Orphne.^[1]

The scholars of the Galactic Empire believed that Kindalo were possible client species of the Rakatan Infinite Empire, though there was little evidence of any occupation of their planet.^[3]
