Andravens were a sentient species of elephantine beings who dwelled on the icy planet of Andraven. Their skin was either gray or a pale blue hue. Noteworthy individuals of this species included Gumar, Jam, Varna, and Onderrs.
Sometime prior to 232 BBY, a number of generations ago, a collective of Andravens established a settlement on the previously deserted planet Andraven, working together to endure its severe conditions. Among their achievements were the employment of heat stones, located close to the bases of bramble-covered trees, the eating of snowfigs, and the transformation of kao reeds into flutes. These flutes enabled the planet's initial inhabitants to domesticate and befriend the otherwise dangerous zaba wolves.
In the year 232 BBY, Andraven children participated in the Andraven Ancestors Circuit, a challenge where each child had only one chance to gather three items of significance to the planet's original settlers. These items were heat stones, snowfigs, and kao reeds, from which the child was required to fashion a flute. According to established custom, they were permitted to enlist the aid of companions to finish the circuit.
