Varactyls were a species of majestic, giant Reptavian[2] herbivore native to the world of Utapau.[3] They typically had blue and green feather manes and feather ridges along their back. They were incredibly loyal and obedient mounts, that had strong long strides to navigate the uneven and vertical surfaces of their homeworld.
Obi-Wan Kenobi had a mount of this species in the last days of the Clone Wars named Boga, who was a causality of Order 66.[1]
