Biography
Edit

Mama favored her deceased son Ebor somewhat more than her son Ziro, and never knew that her husband had run off, or that he had died and was entombed on Teth.
During the Clone Wars, her son, Ziro, was freed by Sy Snootles from a cell on Nal Hutta after being imprisoned by the Hutt Grand Council. Following his escape, she was paid a visit from her Hutt son who was interested in "borrowing" her starship. He explained to her that he was being chased and he needed a way to get to the planet Teth. Mama agreed and allowed her son and Sy Snootles to take the ship. Little did she know that this was going to be the last time she saw her son alive. This, unfortunately for the Hutt mother, would not be the last visit she would get that night. After Ziro left, the bounty hunter Cad Bane and his droid, Todo 360, who had been tracking Ziro, arrived at Mama's hut and demanded to know where her son was going. She complied, as she was forced to do so, and provided the bounty hunter the location of her son's destination.
Later, the obese Hutt was visited by two Jedi—Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos, who were also tracking Ziro. Unfortunately, they made a terrible first impression as Vos burst through her front door after slicing it up with his lightsaber and expressed his revulsion of the elderly Hutt. Obi-Wan, of course, apologized to her for the disturbance; Mama, however, expressed her frustration about the line of visits that had occurred: Ziro had come with Sy Snootles and sponged her of her starship and then a bounty hunter with a "big hat" demanded to know Ziro's whereabouts. After they received the information about Ziro's whereabouts, they left in a hurry, leaving Mama to bemoan her door being demolished.
Unfortunately, Mama was left without a son, after he was betrayed and murdered by Snootles on Teth.

Behind the scenes
Edit
First appearing in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series episode "Hunt for Ziro," Mama was voiced by Angelique Perrin. A notable major retcon is "Mama" was said to have been the mother of many Desilijic clan Hutts.
Mama's character was partly inspired by the character Pearl, a massively obese Vampire from the 1998 film, Blade.[1]
