Roga

Rogas were insectile creatures indigenous to Geonosis. The roga was a species of squat, six-legged insectoid that possessed a mouth surrounded by grasping mandibles, as well as a pair of feathery antennae atop its head. Some Republic scientists theorized that the Geonosians may have evolved from an ancient form of the roga.

Behind the scenes

In the initial drafts of Attack of the Clones, a group of these creatures were intended to attack R4-P17 shortly after Obi-Wan Kenobi landed on Geonosis. However, they were cut from the film.
