Purrgils first appeared in “Star Wars Rebels.” Hera Syndulla, the captain of The Ghost, defined to Ezra Bridger that almost all spacers discovered them to be pests as a result of they trigger crashes in hyperspace. Ezra, although, discovered himself connecting to the creatures via the Pressure.

Within the finale of “Star Wars Rebels”, when Grand Admiral Thrawn had everything of Phoenix Squadron backed right into a nook on Lothal and demanded their give up, Ezra sacrificed himself to go aboard Thrawn’s ship, The Chimaera. That is when he introduced the purrgils to the battle. They appeared from hyperspace at his name, surrounding Thrawn’s Star Destroyer and the others in his fleet, holding all of them of their grip, and jettisoning into components unknown, taking Ezra and Thrawn with them.

It successfully ends the battle on Lothal, liberating it for the Insurgent Alliance. Up to now within the timeline, Ezra does not get to see his residence planet liberated, although, as a result of he is off in components unknown with Thrawn. Did they survive the flight of the purrgils? Ahsoka Tano positive appears to assume so.
