Rancor bramble was a species of green and brown spiny plant native to the islands of the moon Wasskah, where it formed forests. The brambles hosted many parasitic species, including Marina Rung flowers which grew on them. Animals like momongs and convorees also lived amongst the brambles[1] and in some places the plant even formed knotted caves large enough for sentients to live in.[2]
During the Clone Wars, The Padawans Jinx, O-Mer, and Kalifa made a camp in one such cavern on Island Four after being captured by Trandoshan game hunters and dumped on the moon. They were joined for a night by their fellow Jedi Ahsoka Tano,[2] before Kalifa was killed by the Trandoshans and the others escaped Wasskah.[3]
Behind the scenes
Rancor bramble first appeared in "Padawan Lost,"[2] the twenty-first episode of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series' third season, which aired on April 1, 2011.[4] The plant was first identified in the 2017 reference book Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia.[1]
