Gorphs were a sentient species of amphibious beings native to the Forest Moon of Endor. During one winter season, Logray, the Ewok shaman residing in Endor's Bright Tree Village, told Princess Kneesaa that the mythical Krooloks were capable of consuming Gorphs whole.
The initial reference to Gorphs within the present Star Wars canon occurred in the thirty-eighth issue of the Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon magazine, which was released by De Agostini circa September 23, 2015. Within the Star Wars Legends narrative, the initial appearance of Gorphs was in "Princess Latara," which is the fourth episode of the second season of the Ewoks animated TV show. Paul Dini wrote the episode, and it initially aired on September 20, 1986.
