Mother Jungle
this was the name used by the Ithorians to refer to the environment of Ithor. As a race, Ithorians chose not to set foot on the surface of their homeworld, in order to preserve its natural beauty. In order for an Ithorian - or any other being - to come into contact with the forest floor, they had to first give up something of themselves in order to prove their desire to save themsevles.
