Ash angels were large avians native to Sullust. They subsisted on the harsh surface of the planet by consuming ash. Their bodies extracted nutrients from the ash, then shed the powdery residue through their skin.
Ash angels did not have feathers like other avians. Instead, they had short, thin strips of tissue covering their wings and back, granting them the appearance of a pile of ash, which was valuable camouflage in the incinerated landscape. It was through these strips they shed the ash residue.
