    This article is about the species. You may be looking for the language.

    "Nubs can help. Two Poobas are stronger than one."
    ―Lys Solay[2]

    Pooba were a bipedal sentient species that lived in the galaxy. They were covered in furry blue hair and had multihued eye color. Two members of the species, Nubs and Barabo, served the Jedi Order as a Jedi youngling and a Jedi Master during the High Republic Era, respectively. Pooba spoke the language Poobian.

    Biology and appearance

    Pooba were a bipedal sentient species with large furry ears. They were covered in a coat of furry blue hair and possessed multihued eye color, including blue[1] and green.[2] They also displayed immense strength, being able to hold onto multiple chunks of rocks. While young members of the species were visibly shorter than other bipedal species,[1] Pooba were able to have massive stature as they grew older.[2] This blue furry species communicated using the language Poobian.[1]

    Nubs and Zeepohz

    During the High Republic Era, Nubs was a Jedi youngling who served the Jedi Order.[1] Around 233 BBY,[4] Nubs, along with other younglings, were stationed on the planet Tenoo, where he continued his training as a Jedi.[5] While on an exploration mission to an old Jedi temple with Grand Master Yoda, Nubs encountered a mural of Jedi Master Barabo, another Pooba Jedi, and subsequently found their lightsaber.[3] At some point later, Nubs encountered an adult Pooba named Zeepohz.[2]

The Season Two episodes "The Great Gomgourd Quest" and "The Missing Life Day Feast" take place one year after the Season One episodes "The Harvest Feast" and "Life Day," placing those episodes in 233 BBY. Season One begins around the same year, meaning that the first half of Young Jedi Adventures Season One, which includes "The Young Jedi," takes place around 233 BBY.
