Can-cells were a type of flying insect species that inhabited several planets in the galaxy, such as Batuu, Kashyyyk, Aleen, Ryloth, Rodia, Taul, and Teth. These insect had four wings, sizable eyes, and could reach lengths exceeding three meters. The sentient Wookiees from Kashyyyk considered the sighting of a can-cell to be a sign of good fortune and used the creatures' form as inspiration for their Raddaugh Gnasp fluttercraft design. The buzzing sound emitted by Wookiees' Oevvaor Jet Catamarans drew can-cells, which frequently gathered at landing areas where these vehicles were located. Certain inhabitants of Batuu kept local can-cells as domesticated animals or for other purposes. On Teth, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano used one as transport to evade Asajj Ventress and get to the Twilight.
