Can-cell

Can-cells were a species of flying insect found of a number of planets across the galaxy, including Batuu, Kashyyyk, Aleen, Ryloth, Rodia, Taul, and Teth. They had quad wings and large eyes, and were capable of growing to over three meters in length.

While watching the Star Gauntlet podrace on Janix, Brander Lawson compared the approaching podracers to a storm of can-cells, and referred to one, Tor Braxis, as having a worrisome stinger. The sentient Wookiees of Kashyyyk believed seeing a can-cell brought the viewer good luck and based the design of their Raddaugh Gnasp fluttercraft on the odd-looking creatures. Can-cell were attracted to the buzzing sound made by Wookiees' Oevvaor Jet Catamarans and would often congregate at landing pads where the vehicles could be found. Some residents of the planet Batuu raised native can-cell to become pets or for other reasons. Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano rode one on Teth to escape Asajj Ventress and reach the Twilight.
