Giggs was a Gedonian ground weevil of the female persuasion, existing in the time of the High Republic Era. The pilot, Nash Durango, still young in 232 BBY, received the assignment to transport Giggs to an animal preserve located on Tenoo, a planet covered in forest. During their journey to Tenoo, Durango presented the creature to her two passengers, Kai Brightstar and Lys Solay, both Jedi younglings. Although Durango cautioned that Giggs generally disliked interacting with people, Solay began to stroke the Gedonian ground weevil. Unexpectedly, Giggs immediately developed an affection for Solay.
