Lonto

The Lonto were a sentient humanoid species with a powerful and unique connection to nature. They were culturally worshippers of the light side of the Force who devoted themselves to the good of the natural world. A species of Force-users, the Lonto could use their power to grow and manipulate plants, utilizing them as both weapons and healing aids.

In 382 BBY, Susalee represented the Lonto on the Convocation of the Force—a council of representatives from Force-connected groups that operated on the moon Jedha—in many matters. Those included the petition of the Yacombe, a former dark side group with whom the Lonto had a long history, for membership in the Convocation and the Path of the Open Hand cult's petition for the Convocation to be disbanded.

In 228 BBY, the Lonto Lycos was a member of the Nihil pirates' Jedi hunter group named the Children of the Storm. He controlled plants to fight Jedi in a battle on the planet Ballum, but was defeated and sent to a rehabilitation unit. Lycos's daughter Vila later escaped from a Nihil work camp. After being discovered on the planet Dalna by the Tempest Breakers bounty hunters and monster hunter Ty Yorrick, Vila was sent to be reunited with her father. Vila then returned to Dalna with her father and the pair remained at a sanctuary called the Beacon while they used their Lonto gifts to help revitalize the devastated planet.
