The blue banthas, native to the planet Entooine, were a species of banthas that exhibited both sapience and sensitivity to the Force. A young blue bantha typically stood at a height of two meters, while fully grown adults usually reached around three meters in height. Despite being called blue banthas, their fur was actually white, and their name came from their striking, light-blue horns, which were sought after as collectibles beyond their home world. When faced with danger, they would use their horns for defense, and also trample their enemies. Although they were physically quite similar to common banthas, every member of this species possessed a minor connection to the Force. Furthermore, they possessed perfect recall and passed down their accumulated wisdom across generations. Askhew shamans frequently sought their counsel, obtaining rudimentary responses by observing the patterns of their hoofbeats. These shamans believed they needed to offer the lower leg bone of a standard, brown bantha to communicate with them. However, this was not a requirement, because the blue banthas possessed their own language, which the Askhew simply couldn't understand. During the Galactic Civil War, Jowart Typok was known to hunt blue banthas to harvest their horns, until a group of Rebels intervened and put a stop to his activities.
