A clone trooper mounting a blurrg on Ryloth During the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic made use of Blurrg troopers: clone troopers who rode blurrgs.
These troopers functioned as cavalry across diverse planets, deployed in regions where AT-RTs or personal walkers proved unsuitable. Blurrgs had the power to take down numerous battle droids in a single charge. Helmets and flamethrowers were part of their standard gear.
The clone troopers of Lightning Squadron initially came across blurrgs while collaborating with the Twi'lek freedom fighters throughout the Battle of Ryloth. One clone trooper, at minimum, rode a blurrg into combat after his AT-RT suffered a breakdown just prior to the assault on Lessu.
