Legend

this shrubby plant was native to the Forest Moon of Endor, where it was sought out by the Ewoks, who used its roots for a number of uses. However, acquiring enough fgir root to create the paste was a dangerous proposition, as the roots were hollow and quite sensitive to pressure. When squeezed or compressed, the roots of the fgir ejected a number of poisonous, needle-like spines into the air. It was this characteristic that earned the fgir bush the nickname "shooter roots". However, the Ewoks learned that the root itself could be cut and dried to form a dart blower, while the moisture found in the roots could be distilled into an effective anesthetic. Despite its ability to heal Ewok injuries, fgir root proved ineffectual on Aqualish, Mon Calamari, Quarren, and Priapulin individuals.
