Motmots (aka, mastmots in some Whiphid dialects) were massive, thick-furred, quadrupedal ungulates with two nasal horns, two long tusks, long ears, and a dorsal hump over the shoulders.

Herd-dwelling herbivores, they liveded on the harsh, frigid world of Toola. The indigenous Whiphid people hunted the motmots, using the body parts for food, clothing, shelter, and tools. Their tusks were often made into necklaces.^[1]

The motmots could be domesticated as riding mounts, and were so used by Clone Commander Keller's forces on Toola during the Outer Rim Sieges.
