Robas were large porcine beasts native to the planet Aralia. Their average adult weight was nine hundred kilograms.

Robas were the favored prey of the Ranats, who used hit-and-run tactics to kill them. Packs of Ranats would chase the giant beasts, making swift, flesh-ripping attacks to weaken the robas and quickly retreating from their large tusks. Eventually, the weakened beasts would fall, and the Ranats would move in for the kill.

Robas were rare on Aralia, possibly due to overhunting by the Ranats.

On Taanab they were farmed for their food and were presumably the source of roba steak.

Wild robas could also be found on the planet Talus and the forest moon of Endor.
