Pentalope

A pentalope was a type of creature found at the Lonisa City Zoo on the Outer Rim planet Valo during the High Republic Era. According to the Alcedian Jedi youngling Tep Tep, a native of Valo who had lived within the zoo for a time before eventually leaving the planet, a newborn pentalope learned to walk only after overcoming their initial frustrations.

In 228 BBY, while Tep Tep was part of a Jedi group on the Outer Rim planet Eiram, the group spoke with Toranide Nawl—the mayor-elect of Barraza City—about recent events in the city. Finding Nawl's behavior frustrating, Tep Tep mentally noted she looked like a newborn pentalope from the zoo—awkward and struggling to control their frustrations before mastering the ability to walk.
