Profogg

Profoggs were small rodents that originated on Tatooine. These creatures possessed distinctive physical characteristics, including a bifurcated tail, sharp incisors, horns, and strong claws adapted for digging.

A profogg den These rodents, known for constructing elaborate underground "towns," posed a problem for eopie riders, who frequently fell when their mounts tripped in a burrow.

Individual profogg towns had the potential to cover several hectares, housing between 50 and 100 profoggs, with specific burrows dedicated to functions like nurseries or food storage. The total biomass of these complexes was substantial, with each profogg weighing between 10 and 25 kilograms. Due to a prolific reproductive rate (6-8 offspring per litter, with 6-8 litters annually), the profogg population remained robust. Abandoned burrows were commonly taken over by creatures such as gorgs, ibians, and kreetles. Profoggs frequently fell prey to womp rats, while scurriers often pilfered food from profogg settlements. Molo seeds were a primary food source, but profoggs also had a habit of invading moisture farm gardens, prompting farmers to deploy stink capsules as deterrents.
