Kagh'rell was known for their saying that everyone in the galaxy was, in essence, either an akk dog or a spanner being gnawed on by one. By 9 BBY, Kagh'rell's life had come to an end, after the criminals Dana and Grock sabotaged their sublight engines, resulting in a catastrophic explosion. Later, in 9 BBY, while inside the Pyloon's Saloon cantina on the planet Koboh, Dana repeated Kagh'rell's distinctive akk dog saying. Grock, recalling Kagh'rell's use of the phrase, inquired about what had become of them, leading Dana to remind him of his involvement in their demise, and to accuse him of becoming both soft and forgetful.
The character of Kagh'rell was referenced within an overheard exchange in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the video game released in 2023 by Respawn Entertainment.
