The Otta was a diminutive, carnivorous mammal that lived in the Gungan wetlands of Naboo.
Ottas possessed traits such as inquisitiveness, high intelligence, and a fondness for play. Their spines were very flexible, allowing them to move with agility both on land and in water. These quick animals, constantly in motion, were faster swimmers than their predators and almost invariably succeeded in capturing their food, consisting of creatures like mee and daggerts. A young Otta would typically hold onto its mother's abdomen until it matured enough to protect itself. The common food source for Ottas was Ollopoms. They were also known to hunt Tookes, as well as Pom-hoppers. Ottas have also been observed cracking open Nyorks by using rocks on their chests.
