Gnarltree

The gnarltree was a type of tree that grew on Dagobah, a planet of the Outer Rim Territories. They grew best in swampy terrains and had large, twisted roots. Dagobah pythons were commonly found amongst them. Bogwings made their homes in the trees, and dragonsnakes and scrange hid amongst gnarltree roots.

When Jedi Grand Master Yoda had to build a more permanent home during his exile on Dagobah, he chose the knoll at the base of a great gnarltree, beside a murky lagoon, as the location of his new hut. He also crafted wattles from gnarltree roots to use as some of his construction material.

Gnarltrees began life as pale, slender shoots, and then grew to such sizes that the roots fashioned themselves into living caves. Knobby white spiders also grew into the trees.
