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

Tsaelke were a type of long-necked, graceful cetaceans from Chad. They were used as mounts by farmers on the planet to tend their herds. The creatures had barrel shaped bodies, long necks and small heads. They could carry up to 75 kilograms.

Callista Ming designed her lightsaber hilt with a bronze inlay of several of these creatures to remind her of her homeworld.
