According to "The Tale of the Aiwha Pod," a legend told by the Kaminoans, a battle was fought at the Ancient Trench between the god-beast Protas, who had previously defeated Melkorr, and a legion of kikla swimmers. They fought for a month, with the kikla attempting to overwhelm Protas with their numbers. Instead, Protas took advantage of the uncoordinated strategy of the kikla, taking a single-minded approach and eating them to maintain strength. At the rise of the new moon, Protas killed the last kikla, defending his right to rule the oceans of Kamino. With this victory, the god-beast would grow arrogant and challenge an aiwha pod, who would kill him to avoid their own death.
