The oroko, also known as the teal oroko, were nine-pointed echinoderms of the aquatic variety. These creatures inhabited the sea surrounding the planet Kwenn. These beings established several breeding locations among the islands of the Gem Cities of Kwenn, notably close to the Gala, Essafa, and Malbaira Keys. The island of Malbaira Keys, a preserved natural area, was famous for its oroko sightings. Following the ecological collapse that struck Kwenn during the time of the Republic Era, the zoological academy located on Alderaan deemed Kwenn beyond saving. They then relocated a group of oroko to a protected lagoon. These creatures were then brought back once Kwenn's environment was revitalized during the High Republic Era's period of Grand Renewal.
The teal oroko were introduced in the 2024 book The Living Force, authored by John Jackson Miller. Miller had earlier used the term in the Star Wars Legends timeline for the starship called Oroko. This ship was featured in the fifth issue of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic comic series.
