Zoology: Panna blue bird

Panna blue bird

Natural Range:
Moon of Panna: rocky outcrops.
Niche:
scavenger?

A bright blue stilt-legged avain creature was seen standing in the rubbish at the base of the domed city on the mud-covered moon of Panna. The creature's bulbous yellow eyes give it nearly omnidirectional vision, which must be good for detecting and escaping predators. The long proboscis might be an adaptation for picking small morsels from cracks in the rocky cliff-face and similar environments. The stilted legs suggest that the bird spends much of its time wading in shallower mud near rocky outcrops; it would not be able to gain foothold or swim in the deeper offshore mud.

The blue bird stands and watches the commotion as Boba Fett and Chewbacca flee the domed city astride Fett's immense mount.
