Scraps, a male Utai, first came into existence on the world of Utapau. As a young individual, Scraps departed Utapau with a strong desire to traverse the galaxy. He inhabited six separate star systems, earning his keep through the practice of beast healing, and ultimately arrived on Corellia. Later, he encountered a young boy named Malakili, who was without a home and had been left to fend for himself by his mother on the unforgiving streets. Upon observing his animal companion Nibbles' fondness for the boy, Scraps resolved to adopt him as his own. Scraps imparted his knowledge of beast healing to Malakili. His life was brought to an end by a Trandoshan pirate, who fatally shot him and subsequently sold Malakili into slavery.
