Togrutas, not surprisingly, excelled at teamwork and the ability to associate with different cultures. Their fidelity to their beliefs was legendary, as was their happiness within large groups. Togrutas were tranquil and silent, though when the situation called for it they were true warriors. Togrutas spoke the Togruti language, which had a few elements of Basic. Other Togrutas, such as Ahsoka Tano, wore the Togruta sash with their Jedi apparel. These teeth often were made into jewelry such as an akul-tooth headdress or a necklace, which also incorporated metals, stones, and pearls found on Shili. Ironically, special pride was taken in the teeth of akul that a Togruta had taken down as an individual. As hunters, the Togrutas showed off the pelts and teeth of their game as a sign of pride and maturation. Those within a pack who led had a difficult time with fulfilling their goals because of the risk of becoming individualistic. Other sentient species found this particular belief quite inhumane. Togrutas were also known for their belief that those who could not keep up should be left to fend for themselves, because that is nature's way. In the pack, every able Togruta was expected to contribute his or her own share, as any food attained was distributed equally. Togrutas were known for their habit of not wearing shoes they believed that the land was spiritually connected to them, and wearing shoes cut themselves from a bond with the land. While most of Shili was covered in the scrublands where the Togrutas hunted their herbivorous prey, the Togrutas lived in small communities in the forest valleys, where the canopies kept them out of sight. It is said that the creatures of Shili most often attacked in groups, which was even more reason for the native Togrutas to work together. On their native homeworld of Shili, they relied on each other and would band together to take a stand against the massive monsters that hunted them, such as the akul. Togrutas had a strong sense of unity and togetherness. However, Togrutas did nothing to dispel this misconception and even took advantage of the intimidating presence it gave them. This gave outsiders the false impression that Togrutas were venomous.

Young Togrutas' montrals and posterior head-tail did not fully grow until adolescence, when their montrals become curved and their third head-tail grew to the length of their two main head-tails.Īs predators, Togrutas had sharp incisors, which they used to painlessly kill thimiars, their primary prey, causing the creatures postmortem death spasms. Togruta had the ability to sense the proximity and movement of physical objects around them by means of their hollow montrals, which detected space ultrasonically. Their heads bore two montrals, and three (rarely four) head-tails, whose stripes were darker than those of the montrals.

This red and white pattern was a phenotype left over from their ancestor's camouflage that helped them to blend in with their natural surroundings, especially the red-and-white turu-grass which dominated Shili's scrublands. The pattern of stripes varied from individual to individual. White stripes also adorned various parts of their bodies, including their chests, legs, backs, arms, lekku (head-tails), and montrals.
