togruta are salamanders in my mind

u guys are hearing my ideas about this now (some of it is based on actual salamander facts others are just like. my own mind)

cold-blooded

• can’t regulate their own body temps

• prefer cooler temps though (~65°-70°)

• ahsoka’s clothing is heat-regulated

partially nocturnal

• their native planet(s) is the perfect climate for them, so they are diurnal there

• off-planet they prefer cooler parts of the day & nightime

• most active around late afternoon/evening

love moist/wet environments

• swim very well

• can hold their breaths for a long time

• dry environments cause their skin to crack

• not acclimated to snow or deserts AT ALL

• salt isn’t great either (ahsoka still eats it tho because she likes it (it burns her tongue a little but it’s Fine))

• skin is moist to the touch (ew ik but they’re salamanders guys come on)

• have to drink Lots of water if they’re in a drier climate

primarily carnivorous

• will eat other things but prefer meat

• they eat bugs too

• ahsoka will catch bugs off of trees & snack on them while on campaigns & the boys go BERSERK

• she just looks at them very confused with a mouthful of worms, and then offers one to them

babies

• they’re in eggs but it’s a live birth. egg is incubated & hatches in the mother’s womb

• babies can regenerate limbs like axolotls

• have gills that fall off during adolescence

anatomy

• biofluorescent. their markings glow under blue & ultraviolet light

• blue tongues!!! (this is very important to me)

• their fingers are very slightly webbed (like a tiny bit toward the base)

lmk if u want more bc this headcanon is constantly expanding

romance is lame and overrated i love mentor/mentee relationships in fiction and especially when theyre sort of fucked up

mutuals. c'mere. this is a checkpoint. i am checking in. i am wrapping you in a blanket and giving you a nice warm drink. also some pretty flowers. it will be ok.

I'm sorry my knowledge of clone wars stuff is still only like, 15% capacity but i saw the thing about Plo handing out snacks, then remembered the OTHER thing about kel dor food and I'm just like. Sometimes when Plo is extra tired he'll hand you an explosive or something and it might just be intended as extra ammo but he might also have been trying to feed you, you just gotta roll with it and not ask questions.

OH MY GOD.

I love it. :D  Some poor clone going, “Uh, commander - the general just gave me this grenade and when I tried to ask about it, he just patted me on the back and said it would be good for me.”

And Wolffe, who’s used to this, just says, “Hurl it at the enemy, trooper, and if General Plo asks about it later, tell him it hit the spot.  Depending on what he remembers, he’ll either think it blew up a lot of droids or it was delicious.  Works either way.”

got my first less than helpful Google AI search result

Listening is their love language

Horrifying idea, but not entirely unrealistic

Idk if Star Wars already did this but what if there was a Jedi during the clone wars that just had their medics euthanize wounded clones
