Legend

this small, winged species of lizard resembles a yellow-furred dragonfly. They have blue wings and red eyes, and require a wet, damp environment in which to live. A colony of them took up residence in a cave-like water chamber in an abandoned moisture farm on Tatooine, after being transported to the planet as exotic pets. Shortly before the historic Boonta Eve Classic podrace won by Anakin Skywalker, the batteries which provided power to the pumps that kept water flowing to their hidden caves failed. A group of daring trooshti traveled to Mos Espa and stole the battery out of Anakin's podracer. They were caught by Jar Jar Binks and Queen Amidala, who tracked them to the moisture farm. Amidala recognized the problem with their equipment and fixed a reversed polarity problem which had been draining their batteries instead of charging them. The trooshti then returned Anakin's battery.
