The bogwing was a flying reptavian[3] native to Dagobah.[4] It was very territorial and used its talons to pick up victims. It could carry up to nine times its own weight.[5] Bogwings did not hatch from eggs but were born live. As bogwings spent most of their lives in flight, this resulted in the newborns being required to learn to fly immediately during the free-fall of their birth. Juvenile bogwings learned to hunt by watching older bogwings and would generally flock under the flightpath of successful hunters to eat any scraps the individual may drop in flight.
During the Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire, bogwings were seen in the valleys of Belsavis. Bogwings were released by Gungans to signal half-time at Gulliball games.[6] Bogwings were also found on Aleen[7] and Zygerria.[8]
There were two races of bogwings: the greater bogwing and the lesser bogwing.[1] They both fed on small creatures dwelling the canopy, but the greater bogwing fed in the upper levels, while the lesser bogwing fed on the lower levels where it avoided larger predators such as the jubba bird.[3]
