Cham Cham

Cham Cham was a male cru that was a pet of Zeen Mrala, a Force-sensitive Mikkian. When Mrala was a young child, she relied on Cham Cham and her friend, Krix Kamerat, to keep her safe and be with her. Sometime after, they lived on the planet Trymant IV when the system was threatened by debris from the Great Hyperspace Disaster. Mrala carried Cham Cham as she attempted to search for safety with her friend Krix. Being Force-sensitive, Mrala could feel through the Force that something terrible was about to happen: she speculated that Cham Cham either shared the feeling or could sense that she was scared.

A group of Jedi came to the planet's rescue after the Nihil marauders launched an attack. During the attack, Jedi Master Yoda brought Cham Cham onboard a Nihil cruiser to save Mrala's friend. When Kamerat refused to join them and altered the Nihil to their location, Yoda tried to tell Cham Cham to be quiet. But Cham Cham did not cooperate and attacked a Nihil member, eating their arm. He then fell asleep after the meal and returned with Yoda to Mrala.

Shortly after, Talisola and other Padawans searched for Mrala, who had left the space station to find Kamerat. They realized that she had not permanently left because she left Cham Cham behind. Cham Cham jumped on the head of Padawan Qort and refused. He joined the young Padawans as they crammed into a Jedi Vector to go off and locate Mrala.
