Ganadotes were an immense creature and biot of the Yuuzhan Vong. After being grafted by the Shapers, they served the Vong as a form of meeting room. Little more than a fifteen-meter-long disk at birth, a ganadote was raised by keepers who knew how to train the creature to grow a certain way. Well-crafted ganadotes were trained to allow their tongues to be used as portable podiums. By applying pressure with a foot or staff, a Yuuzhan Vong could tell the ganadote to move the tongue virtually anywhere within its body.
