Legend

this immense, avian creature was native to the planet Naboo. To most inhabitants of Naboo, the goff - sometimes known as the titavian - was a legendary creature. Its incredible size was dominated by its huge wings and heavily-muscled arms, which were required to lift its huge bulk into the air. The average wingspan of the goff was well over 100 meters across. Most of these birds preferred to live in high perches and aeries, from which they could plummet in order to achieve flight. The Gungans considered it a rite of passage for a young warrior to train an aiwha and fly up to the goff's perch to obtain one or more of their long, striped feathers. The feathers were then used to adorn their military officers' mounts. These avians are not dangerous by natural, but a sweep of a wing could easily unseat or kill a Gungan from its aiwha mount.
