Bloggin


Bloggins were avian creatures that lived on the planet Jakku. Rey noted in her journal that bloggins may be the dumbest creatures in the galaxy.

Biology and appearance


Bloggins were avians with eyestalks and long tails. Their eyestalks let them see predators from a long distance. However, their tendency to panic, run around in a circle squawking, and failing to fly away left them with little choices.

They traveled in flocks and provided food for several of the local villagers. Bloggins regarded whatever land they were occupying as exclusively theirs and responded negatively to interlopers, protectively pecking at other beings that traveled through it. Their oil was used in lamps by the villagers of Tuanul. Additionally, the villagers raised them for meat and feathers. Rey also used bloggin-leather on the strap of her quarterstaff.
