The Holographic Museum of Extinct Animals was a museum in Galactic City, the ecumenopolis that covered the planet Coruscant. It displayed several extinct creatures, including the mantabog of the planet Malastare. Around 9 ABY, a taxi droid recommended a day trip to the museum to Doctor Penn Pershing, a new arrival to Corsucant that the droid was driving from the Galaxies Opera House to Amnesty Housing. The droid claimed to have found several of the creatures on display at the museum fascinating and began to speak about the mantabog before the conversation was interrupted by their arrival at the housing's landing bay.
In the current Star Wars canon, the Holographic Museum of Extinct Animals was mentioned in "Chapter 19: The Convert," the third episode of the Disney+ show The Mandalorian's third season, which aired on March 15, 2023.

Bachs, and published on December 20, 2000.
