Tookas, also called tooka-cats or Adoris Felines, were a subspecies of feline cats. They were popular as pets as the carnivores ate many unwanted pests, but were also considered by many to be feral nuisances themselves. When properly trained, they could be excellent hunters of pests. One specific breed of tooka was the Loth-cat, native to the planet Lothal. Tooka were known to enjoy milk. Tooka were common in the underworld of Coruscant, where they hunted nuna.
The Loth-cat was a type of tooka.
Tookas were a type of small feline creature. The saying "tooka cat that ate the bulabird" referred to a person who appeared self-satisfied or smug. The saying "a took got your tongue?" was used to encourage someone who was being unusually quiet, to speak out. "Look what the tooka dragged in" was used to call attention to someone who had entered an area, while "the tooka's out of the bag" meant that a secret had become known.
Tookas first appeared in the Star Wars franchise as "Adoris feline" in Otherspace, an adventure for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. Though this title is now part of Star Wars Legends, tookas were introduced into the Star Wars canon in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, first as a stuffed toy and later as the actual creature. They were named after Dave Filoni's deceased cat, Tuuk. The StarWars.com Encyclopedia connected the Adoris feline to Tookas in its subhead subtitle, also making that name canon.
In Ronin: A Visions Novel, the Traveler has a tooka cat named Kyuu.
