Rattatees

Rattatees are a fictional species originating from the planet Xylos in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, now known as Star Wars Legends. They are a mammalian species characterized by their rodent-like appearance, often described as having fur, long snouts, and large ears. Rattatees are generally depicted as being small to medium-sized creatures, though variations in size may exist.

These beings are known for their resourcefulness and adaptability, often found inhabiting a wide range of environments across the galaxy. Their natural habitat on Xylos is believed to be varied, contributing to their ability to thrive in diverse conditions. In terms of temperament, Rattatees are typically portrayed as pragmatic and survival-oriented, driven by instinct and a strong desire to protect themselves and their communities.

While not a prominent species in the main Star Wars saga, Rattatees have appeared in various Legends materials, including novels and comic books. Their role in these stories often involves them as background characters, inhabitants of specific planets, or even as minor antagonists or allies. Information regarding their societal structure or advanced technology is limited, suggesting they are more of a background species rather than a focal point of galactic politics or conflict. Their existence adds to the rich biodiversity of the Star Wars galaxy as presented in Legends continuity.
