Monong

"If you don't want the oversized monong, I'll jettison here, let you explain to your superiors why the Empire has one less slave."

―Hera Syndulla

Monongs were hairy creatures. While pretending to be involved in slavery in hopes of boarding an Imperial Gozanti-class cruiser, Hera Syndulla once compared a Wookiee to an "oversized monong."

While training a group of rookie Imperial cadets, Lieutenant Currahee referred to them as "flea-bitten monongs."

Behind the scenes

Monongs were first mentioned in Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion, the one-hour series premiere for the animated television series Star Wars Rebels. In the first draft of the movie's script, Syndulla used the term "ape." This was later changed to momong, a monkey-like creature native to Wasskah that was first seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. In the final version of the script, "momong" evolved into "monong," thus creating a new species.
