The Gotal drunk is named Spots Podal. His hood has two openings for his head-cones, which works perfectly for Ahsoka's Togruta head shape. He is voiced by Dave Filoni.

The "Rattataki alien" played by Robin Atkin Downes cited in the credits is the Brainee-style being that grabs onto Ahsoka in the passenger train.

This episode marks the first appearance of a Republic police gunship, a vehicle design inherited by The Clone Wars team from another project. It features solar gather panels and a spoked cockpit window very reminiscent of an Imperial TIE fighter. Illustration by Hyunwoo Lim.

New in this episode is a stray alley creature called the tooka -- the first "flesh and blood" appearance of a cat-like critter that has previously been seen in the show as a stuffed doll. The tooka doll memorably appeared as Numa's doll in Season One's "Innocents of Ryloth." The tooka is named after Dave Filoni's cat, the late, great Tuuk (inset), who was also the source of Mar Tuuk's name in Season One.
