A species of hoofed quadrupeds about the size of a goat, Qartuums had long patches of hair on several areas of their body, including their belly, spine, and throat. They also had large protruding eyes and a small horn on their forehead.
In 9 ABY, Din Djarin, Carasynthia Dune, Kuiil, Greef Karga, and three other bounty hunters passed a member of the species while travelling across Nevarro's lava fields.
Qartuums appeared in "Chapter 7: The Reckoning," an episode of the first season of Jon Favreau's television series The Mandalorian. The episode was directed by Deborah Chow and aired on Disney+ on December 18, 2019. The creatures were later identified as Qartuums in an illustration by Phil Tippett in the 2020 reference book The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season One.
