Legend

this Gungan was one of the best bongo racers in the city of Otoh Gunga, prior to the Battle of Naboo. She piloted a blue-skinned, broad-bellied, monobubble bongo for most of her racing career. Unfortunately, just before the Battle, she crashed with Neb Neb Goodrow in a practice run for the Bongo Rally, and was unable to compete. She later helped Jar Jar Binks defeat one of Captain Swagg's droids, as the pirate tried to destroy the Lake Umberbool arena to exact revenge on the Gungans. Despite being injured, Spleed Nukkles helped Jar Jar get back to Otoh Gunga. In the years following the Battle of Naboo, Spleed and Neb Neb continued race their bongos, but more often than not they ended in a crash. Whether between themselves or with other racers, Spleed and Neb Neb always managed to survive and race again, a fact that made them popular with young Gungans and new fans across the galaxy. However, it made them less than popular with other racers, who considered them reckless and dangerous. They were briefly suspended from racing following the crash and disappearance of Zak "Squidfella" Quiglee, but redeemed themselves by restoring Boss Nass's old heyblibber and bringing Squidfella in for questioning.
