Purrgil Ultra

Purrgil Ultra were a type of the semi-sentient, space-roaming purrgil. They were mostly identical to regular purrgil, albeit with significantly larger heads with slightly different features. In 1 BBY, during the liberation of the planet Lothal from the Galactic Empire's grasp, a group of purrgil and Purrgil Ultra completely wiped out Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn's blockade. Having established a connection with the purrgil, the Jedi Ezra Bridger then guided three Purrgil Ultra to wrap their tentacles around Thrawn's flagship, the Chimaera, and to jump into hyperspace, removing the Imperial threat from Lothal.

Around 9 ABY, a group of Purrgil Ultra over the planet Seatos helped former Jedi Ahsoka Tano with following the Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth to a neighboring galaxy with the goal of preventing her from recovering Thrawn. The whales transported Tano and the Jedi droid Huyang aboard their T-6 shuttle to the extragalactic planet Peridea.
