Nugtosh was a male individual who was known to preside over podraces on Malastare, including the Vinta Harvest Classic in 32 BBY.

Nugtosh, a mysterious skeletal alien, lived on the planet Malastare as a vagrant. His origin and age were unknown to the Malistarians. Sometime prior to the Battle of Naboo, Nugtosh made a promise to not sabotage the podrace track during the annual Vinta Harvest Classic, in exchange for the opportunity to make an appearance at the beginning of each race. Nugtosh’s appearance during each race became a respected permanent fixture of podraces on Malastare. Nugtosh was considered good luck by the podracers and fans.
