Stranglethorn was a vine species that existed on Endor's forest moon. Initially, when stranglethorn began to grow, it was not particularly remarkable.
As time passed, though, the stranglethorn developed into a sizable, carnivorous plant characterized by a bulbous head and pointed teeth. Occasionally, naive Ewoks cultivated the plant, only to discover its carnivorous nature through unfortunate experiences. This error was made by Princess Kneesaa from Bright Tree Village at some point preceding the Battle of Yavin.
