9. Nautolan

The Nautolan are an amphibious species from the planet Glee Anselm

Homeworld: Glee Anselm

Appearances and Biography

• Nautolans possessed physiology common to amphibious species, including low light vision and excellent swimming skills.

• Their bony exoskeleton and dense cartilage made them tough and resistant to glancing blows.

• An egg-laying species, Nautolans emerged from their egg as a tadpole that developed arms, legs, and head-tails during their second year of life. Roughly the same size as a Human infant during this time, their limbs were weak and unable to support their weight, forcing youthful Nautolans to remain in aquatic environments for much of their childhood.

• Nautolans possessed exceptional olfactory and pheromone-sensing skills, enhanced by head-tresses. These tendrils were used to detect the emotional state of another being, but were most effective underwater. Within Nautolan culture, the ability to sense pheromone changes was an essential part of the communication process. All Nautolans had fourteen sensory tentacles and multiple hearts, which were capable of beating separately.

• Like their sense of smell, Nautolan language was also maximized for use underwater and not fully pronounceable in a gaseous atmosphere.

Famous Nautolans: Kit Fisto, Zatt.

11. Dathomirian

Dathomirians, also known as Dathomirian Zabraks and Dathomiri, were a subspecies of Zabrak native to the planet Dathomir.

Homeworld: Dathomir

Appearances and Biography

• During the Clone Wars much of the species was eradicated due to earning the ire of the Sith, and by the time of the Galactic Civil War, the last known survivor was Shelish.

• The Dathomiri had tattoos on their body that represented their tribal heritage. The male Zabraks had natural striping which they embellished with tattoos. The females, particularly those belonging to the Nightsisters, had more subtle tattoos that were in contrast to their pale skin.

• Males normally are embellished with horns on their head, some ranging to a few inches high. The larger the horns the more powerful of the brother.

THE NIGHTSISTERS
• The Nightsisters' clan developed on the mysterious planet of Dathomir. Since power was at its most potent on their home planet, they rarely ventured off-world during the height of the Galactic Republic. However, this changed when a sister named Talzin became the clan's Mother. During this time, Talzin worked alongside the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, who ultimately betrayed Talzin and took her son Darth Maul from her. At the time of the Clone Wars, Talzin began to sell her sisters' services as mercenaries to the galaxy's wealthy citizens.

• By tapping into the magical ichor that flowed from Dathomir's depths, the witches could harness a power they referred to as "magick." The most powerful of the Nightsisters could use that ichor to create objects out of thin air,[13] transform people into ghostly versions of their true forms, or even reanimate the dead.

•The Nightsisters of Dathomir lived in the seclusion of a stone fortress that bordered dense swamplands. A matriarchal society, the coven of sisters lived apart from the men of Dathomir, the Nightbrothers, whose only use was to serve the sisters as servants and breeders.

Famous Dathomirians: Asajj Ventress, Savage Opress, Darth Maul, Mother Talzin.
