Togruta

The Togruta were a carnivorous humanoid species from the planet Shili. The species exhibited head-tails, called lekku, which were similar to those of Twi'leks. Unlike Twi'leks, a Togruta's lekku were part of their montrals and ran parallel to the head, creating the appearance of wearing a headdress. Togruta were also distinguished by their montrals - large, hollow, horn-like projections from the top of their heads that provided a form of passive echolocation. In order to protect themselves from dangerous predators and to hunt their own prey, Togruta banded together in tribes and relied on their natural pigmentation to disrupt and confuse slow-witted beasts. Togruta worked well in large groups, and individualism was seen as abnormal within their culture, although it was also a necessary quality in leaders.
