Ahsoka Tano is a Togruta female. The Togruta species comes from the planet Shili in the Expansion Region of the Star Wars galaxy. Togrutas have unique features, such as their montrals (hollow horns used for echolocation) and lekku (head tails), which can have various colors and grow with age. They are often confused with Twileks, but they have distinct differences, including the number of lekku and their primary biological functions. Other Togruta Jedi and important Togruta characters also exist in the Star Wars universe.
