- "When [Greez] said bring seeds, I hope he meant from Dathomir."
- ―Cal Kestis upon discovering a Mushling seed
The Mushling was plant native to the swamps of the planet Dathomir. In 14 BBY, Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis collected a mushling seed to plant in his crew member Greez Dritus' terrarium aboard their luxury yacht Stinger Mantis.
Description
Native to the[1] Outer Rim Territories[2] planet Dathomir,[1] mushlings grew in the swamps of the planet, most notably in the Swamp of Sacrifice. The plant had maroon-colored pods on the tips of each of its branches. The pods were an essential ingredient in the tattoos which defined the Nightsisters, a clan of Dathomirian witches, and the Nightbrothers, a group of warriors under the rule of the Nightsisters. The pods of the mushlings were boiled down into a yellow paste, and then mixed with pigments like clay and ash to create a variety of colors.[1]
History
In 14 BBY,[3] Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis and the crew of the luxury yacht Stinger Mantis travelled to Dathomir as part of a mission to rebuild the Jedi Order. Kestis was knocked into the depths of Dathomir by a Nightbrother, and eventually found himself in the Swamp of Sacrifice.[1]
While in the Swamp of Sacrifice, Kestis found a Mushling seed. The seed was subsequently grown in a terrarium owned by his crew member Greez Dritus. The various seeds Kestis collected were harvested as a form of payment for Dritus' assistance in the crew's mission.[1]

The Mushling appeared in the 2019 video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, developed by Respawn Entertainment.[1]
