Latero, alternatively called Lateron, were a sentient species originating from the planet Lateron, characterized by their possession of four arms. A notable trait of this species was their highly developed olfactory sense. One example of a Latero is Marino Pomana, who held the position of chef on the world of Begamor. Another Latero was Greez Dritus, who served as the captain of the vessel S-161 "Stinger" XL Stinger Mantis. The organization Latero Spaceworks, responsible for the creation of the S-161 "Stinger" XL, derived its designation from this very species. During the High Republic Era, Goonral Monshi, a Latero, practiced as a Jedi. Also during the High Republic Era, the Latero Hap was a chef who owned Hap's Sap Tap on the world of Tenoo.
