Drethi
Drethi were a species known for possessing wings. During the dedication ceremony for the Starlight Beacon space station in the year 232 BBY, Jedi Master Elzar Mann encountered Jedi archivist OrbaLin for their initial time meeting. This meeting gave Mann the feeling that the archivist had the capacity to bore the wings right off of a Drethi. Shortly before the Republic Fair on the Outer Rim planet Valo in 231 BBY, OrbaLin journeyed to the world to partake in the festivities. As Mann observed his colleague's arrival, he recalled his prior assessment of the archivist's abilities.
