Powerfully built feline quadrupeds, narglatches inhabit the frozen wastelands of Orto Plutonia, as seen in the first season episode of The Clone Wars, "Trespass" (2009; written by Steven Melching, directed by Brian Kalin O'Connell). They are used as mounts by the primitive Talz, who ride the sure-footed beasts across the ice and into battle. Though strong and fierce, these creatures can easily be felled by blaster fire.
纳格拉奇兽是一种体格强壮的猫科动物，有四条腿，栖息在寒冷荒凉的奥托普卢托尼亚星球，出现在《克隆人战争》第一季第15集《非法侵入》（2009年；史蒂文·梅尔钦编剧，布赖恩·卡林·奥康奈尔导演）中。

Concept Art Origins
概念画来源

The narglatch design was first illustrated by concept artist Terryl Whitlatch as a possible creature found on Naboo. Based on her artwork, the narglatch creature was defined as a Naboo native in the video game, The Gungan Frontier (Lucas Learning , 1999), and in the art book The Wildlife of Star Wars: A Field Guide by Terryl Whitlatch and Bob Carrau (2001, Chronicle Books).
作为一种可能在纳布星球出现的生物，纳格拉奇兽的图样最早由概念画家特丽尔·惠特拉奇绘制。以她的作品为基础，在电脑游戏《冈根边境》（卢卡斯学习，1999年）和特丽尔·惠特拉奇与鲍勃·卡罗编著的图书《〈星球大战〉野生生物：野外指南》中，纳格拉奇兽被确定为纳布星球的土生动物。

Here, the narglatch is described in terms similar to large cat predators in our world: the female narglatch is faster, more agile and the more proficient hunter compared to her male counterpart, able to stalk prey over both land and in water. Narglatches have densely padded feet that silent their footfalls make them remarkably stealthy for their size.
在这里，纳格拉奇兽很明显类似于我们星球上的大型猫科猛兽：跟公纳格拉奇兽相比，母纳格拉奇兽跑得更快，行动更敏捷，捕猎更出色，还能同时在陆地和水中追踪猎物。纳格拉奇兽的脚上有厚厚的肉垫，令它们的脚步悄无声息，尤其适合这种体型的动物隐秘行动。

Males and females only commingle during mating season, otherwise they live solitary existences. They are easily distinguished since the males have fleshy spikes emerging from their manes. Both sexes have a fan-like tail that acts as a rudder during high-speed chases. Pregnant females always give birth to twins: a female and male. Narglatch young are abandoned at birth and must learn to fend for themselves at a young age. When food is scarce, male narglatches will eat young cubs, so the cubs must ever remain vigilant.
公兽和母兽只在发情期交配，平时独来独往。公兽和母兽是很容易区分的，因为公兽长着像鬃毛一样的肉钉。不管是公兽还是母兽，都有一条像扇子一样的尾巴，在急速狩猎时，尾巴如同方向舵。怀孕的母兽总是产双胞胎：一公一母。小纳格拉奇兽一出生就被抛弃了。它们必须在幼年就学会自己养活自己。在食物紧缺的时候，公兽会吃掉幼兽，所以幼兽必须时刻保持警惕。

The younger narglatch cubs prey on herbivores -- swamp and forest-dwellers like ikopi -- while adults can take down fambaa, kaadu and jimvu. They avoid deep water and zalaacas alike, but are actually quite good swimmers if need be.
小纳格拉奇兽只能捕食食草动物——沼泽动物或森林动物，比如伊科狓——而成年的纳格拉奇兽就可以捕猎凡巴、卡杜和吉姆乌。它们不喜欢潜水，不会去抓扎拉卡，但其实，如果需要的话，它们也会展示相当好的水性。

When defined in roleplaying game statistics in Ultimate Adversaries (Wizards of the Coast, 2004), the narglatch is given a remarkable sense of smell that allows it to track its prey, and formidable night vision.
《终极对手》（威世智公司，2004年）的角色扮演游戏数据显示，纳格拉奇兽的嗅觉很灵敏，能通过气味捕猎，而且它们的夜视力也很强。
