Mycho Zala was a prospector from Zekodo during the High Republic Era. He maintained a friendly relationship with the Jedi Order and was connected to Jedi Master Zia Zaldor Zana. In 232 BBY, he encountered Jedi Initiate Kai Brightstar and Nash Durango, a pilot from Tenoo, on Tatooine where he was to obtain a hyperdrive capacitor. He possessed fluency in both Galactic Basic and Jawaese, leveraging his language skills in the latter to resolve a misunderstanding between the two young individuals and the native Jawas.
The character Mycho Zala made his debut in the Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures episode titled "Kai's Bad Day." Matt Martin has stated that Zala's species was specifically developed for this particular series.
