Legend

this immense, equine creature was native to the planet Naboo. Related to the smaller gualama, guarlaras were regal, heavy-bodied beasts with jet-black fur. The body structure of the guarlara was similar to that of the gualama, with a pair of forward-curving horns atop their heads and a long, fur-covered tail. One distinguishing feature of the guarlara was the defensive tusks which grew on either side of their mouths. The hooves of the guarlara were much heavier, though, giving the huge creatures extremely sure footing. Young guarlaras were born with white fur, which darkened as it matured. The fur of mature guarlaras was collected and used in the creation of warm clothing and tapestries, and domesticated guarlara were regularly shorn in milder climates. The royalty of Naboo maintained a herd of guarlaras for parades.
