Nara, a bantha residing on the arid planet of Tatooine, inhabited the desert landscape. In the Age of the Empire, Obi-Wan Kenobi, once a Jedi Master, made his home amongst Nara's bantha herd, viewing these creatures as his own kin. Upon his return following a short meeting with the bounty hunter Krrsantan, Kenobi observed Nara's healthy appearance, contrasting with the sorrowful demeanor of the bantha Dolo.
The initial appearance of Nara was in Star Wars (2015) 20, a comic book from 2016 penned by Jason Aaron.
