Worrt rooster

The worrt rooster was a type of dinosaur-like bird that possessed reptilian features and crowed at sunrise on its home planet of Tatooine. In spite of being gentle, the bird exhibited a fearsome appearance and would become a menace if provoked as well as screeching if it felt at risk. In 9 ABY, one such bird was present on Tatooine, where it crowed on top of a building once it spotted one of Tatooine's two suns.

Behavior

A worrt rooster crows at the dawn of a new day in Mos Eisley.

To declare the beginning of another day, the worrt rooster would crow at daybreak. The bird was easily intimidated and would continuously squawk if it suspected it was in danger, despite the bird not being hostile. The bird was considered threatening in appearance, which contrasted its benign nature.^[1]

History

In 9 ABY,^[6] a worrt rooster crowed at the sight of seeing one of Tatooine's^[2] two^[7] suns whilst perched on the rooftop of an establishment. The bird then proceeded to groom its wings with its beak.^[2]
