The igitz were a species of diminutive amphibians that originated on the planet of Naboo. These omnivorous creatures, known for their blue skin, made their homes within the numerous, thickly vegetated swamps found on Naboo. Due to their evolutionary history in this environment, igitz possessed adaptations for both terrestrial and aquatic life: they had clawed front paws suitable for walking on land, and finned hindquarters that provided propulsion in water. Igitz were commonly kept as pets within various Gungan societies. A diplomat from the New Republic who was A certain Gungan owned an igitz. This diplomat frequently journeyed to the galactic capital of Coruscant accompanied by his pet, which he carried in a Gungan hydrostatic bubble-styled vivarium.
