Common Thranta

Homeworld: Alderaan

Designation: non-Sentient

Appearance and Biology:

Observationally Thranta seem to be solitary creatures, usually only pairing into groups of two or three along rivers and other water sources. Native to Alderaan they are often domesticated and used as transport between outposts and the major settlements. They are a far less disruptive transport method then most speeders, and do no upset the local ecosystem.

Their bodies are often long and then, with a slight hump to their backs, which is where domesticated Thranta feature saddles. Their wings are wedge shaped, almost classically leaf like, with extremely powerful muscles to support their mass in the air. They also feature unique tail structures. Multiple sections and fins used to aid in navigation. Common thranta are most often used for single passenger transport, with some cargo, while larger variations hold larger groups and greater cargo capacity. Thranta use large air sacs centered somewhere in their torsos to aid in their staying aloft.

They are known to be omnivores, as they will prey on other flying creatures, and have a preference for the Alderaan airborne zoo-plankton.

Personal Observation:

This species seems to adapt well to domestication, and is docile in temperament. It is not uncommon to witness these creatures singing to their wild brethren, and will purr when they are rewarded with a scratch after a long flight.
