Woshrikes were a type of perilous being populating the agrarian world of Ertegas, situated within the Anoat sector; they are classified as a species. Arro Basteren, while he was raised on Ertegas, defended his family's agricultural yields against these woshrikes. This work sharpened his visual acuity and talent for detecting and eliminating adversaries, capabilities he subsequently employed upon enlisting in the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
The initial reference to woshrikes appeared in Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide, a 2016 reference volume authored by Pablo Hidalgo.
