"The new fishing dock's rebuilt and moored. And I caught some dinner!"
―Wrecker tells Hunter and Shep Hazard about his catch[1]

Pabu fish[2] was a type of fish that inhabited the ocean of[1] the planet[3] Pabu. The fish was mostly purple in color with orange on its back and a lighter purple underbelly. It had a single horn protruding from its forehead, black eyes, and teeth that protruded from its mouth.[1] The fish lacked a dorsal fin but had a caudal fin with a forked lower lobe, two pairs of smaller ventral fins, and a large pectoral fin.[2] Large in size, a Pabu fish could be as big as an adult human. Pabu fish were edible by humans.[1]

Around 18 BBY,[4] Clone Force 99 member Wrecker used a fishing pole to catch a Pabu fish while he was fishing off a recently built fishing dock in Lower Pabu. Wrecker proceeded to excitedly tell Mayor Shep Hazard and fellow clone Hunter that he had caught their dinner.[1]

Behind the scenes

Pabu fish first appeared in "Tipping Point,"[1] the fourteenth episode in the second season of the animated television series Star Wars: The Bad Batch, which premiered on March 22, 2023.[5] Although unidentified in the episode,[1] Pabu fish were named in the ensuing episode guide. Concept art of the Pabu fish was done by artist Ben Meng.[2]

  4. ↑ Per the reasoning here, the seventh and eighth episodes of The Bad Batch Season 2, "The Clone Conspiracy" and "Truth and Consequences," can be placed in 18 BBY. Therefore, all Season 2 episodes proceeding "The Clone Conspiracy" occur between 19 BBY, which features the end of The Bad Batch Season 1 according to Star Wars: Timelines, and 18 BBY. The Galactic Empire, the formation of which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 19 BBY, sent Mayday's squad to Barton IV over a year prior to the events of the twelfth episode, "The Outpost." As it occurs over a year into the Imperial Era and is set shortly after the events of "Truth and Consequences," the events of "The Outpost" occur around 18 BBY. Following that logic, the ninth through eleventh episodes ("The Crossing" through "Metamorphosis") are also set around 18 BBY because they occur between the events of "Truth and Consequences" and "The Outpost." Finally, all season 2 episodes set after "The Outpost" occur shortly after its events, thereby placing those episodes around 18 BBY as well.
