Gnarled tree


Gnarled tree
The Gnarled tree is a popular fantasy tree known to dwell on the swampy grounds of Dagobah, a planet in the outer systems in galaxy. Gnarls are non-sentient, unusually giant trees with large twisted roots.

The earliest idea about Gnarled tree was conceived by Ralph McQuarrie who thought to imitate Banyan trees with a little fantasy touch. He even correlated the swampy habitats of Gnarled tree with the Banyan tree, which mostly grow in the swampy regions of earth.

But the most unusual thing about Gnarled tree was its weird, detachable root called the knobby giant spider that was able to move after separating from the parent tree. The spider later starts gaining nutrition by preying on other living creatures till the moment it gives out eight sharp legs which later forms the roots of another new Gnarled tree.

The second featuring in the Star Wars Trilogy i.e. Star Wars: (Episode V) The Empire Strikes Back is where the Gnarled trees madea debut. Jedi Grand Master Yoda, when expelled on the Dagobah, set up a small hut in the knoll at the base of a Gnarled tree as their permanent home and spent their last years in the midst of Gnarls.
