Versimillipedes[3] were a type of quadrupedal, brown-skinned species on Jedha,[2] Kenari,[4] and Khofar.[5] In 1 BBY,[6] a versimillipede climbed a rock face near to the Catacombs of Cadera, shortly before the area was decimated by the Death Star superweapon.[2]

A versimillipede first appeared in the 2016 Anthology series film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.[2] The species was named by Lucasfilm Story Group member Pablo Hidalgo during one of the film's visual effects review sessions,[8] and was a cut design for a Scarif tree creature.[9] They were first identified in the video "Every Creature in the Star Wars Movies," which was released by the Star Wars Kids YouTube channel in 2019.[3] The design was reused for "That Would Be Me," an episode of Star Wars: Andor.[10] Concept art was created by Tyler Scarlet.[7]

- ↑ Pablo Hidalgo (@pabl0hidalgo) on Twitter (post): "I jokingly called it a verisimilipede since 'verisimilitude' was one of the VFX words bandied about on this project, and that name stuck. The retextured version of the verisimilipede showed up on ANDOR." (original link is obsolete)
