Legends Canon version → Linked from 14 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Mastmots (a.k.a. motmots in some Whiphid dialects) were massive, thick-furred, quadrupedal ungulates with two nasal horns, two long tusks, long ears, and a dorsal hump over the shoulders.

Herd-dwelling herbivores, they lived on the harsh, frigid world of Toola. The indigenous Whiphid people hunted the mastmots, using the body parts for food, clothing, shelter, and tools. Their tusks were often made into necklaces.

The mastmots could be domesticated as riding mounts, and were so used by Clone Commander Keller's forces on Toola during the Outer Rim Sieges.
