- "Even life-forms without midi-chlorians and cellular structures, such as the fractal urchins of Protogeyser, can touch its energy."
- ―An excerpt from The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force by Jedi biologist Bowspritz, discussing the ability of animals to touch the Force
Fractal urchins were a non-sentient species native to the planet Protogeyser. Known to the galaxy by the Ruusan Reformation of 1,000 BBY, the species was distinguished by its lack of cellular structures and thus midi-chlorians,[1] symbiotic life-forms that lived inside cells and allowed their host to detect the Force.[2] This characteristic earned the fractal urchins a mention in the Jedi Initiate guidebook The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force,[1] first published as early as the year 990 BBY[3] and still in use during the Clone Wars that began in 22 BBY. Authored by a Jedi biologist, Bowspritz, the "Galactic Bestiary" section of the book described fractal urchins as an example of animals that were connected to the Force despite their lack of midi-chlorians. More detailed information on the species was available in the Jedi Archives on the Galactic Republic capital world, Coruscant.[1]
Behind the scenes
Edit
The first and thus far only mention of fractal urchins in Star Wars canon comes from The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force, a reference book written by Daniel Wallace and published in 2010.
