Baleen was a body part found on aiwha and used to eat krill. While some purrgil had teeth scattered throughout their mouths, others had full mouths of baleen.
Baleen was first mentioned in Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia, a 2017 reference book written by Tricia Barr, Adam Bray, and Cole Horton. It first appeared in "Part Five: Shadow Warrior," the fifth episode of the Disney+ television series Ahsoka, which released on September 12, 2023. Baleen was mentioned prior in the Legends continuity in the 2010 The Unknown Regions supplement to the Saga Edition role-playing game. In real life, baleen is a material that baleen whales have instead of teeth, which allows them to filter-feed prey such as krill and plankton.
