J'feh
The J'feh were a cephalopoid[2] species characterized by their red skin and numerous tentacles. Members of the species usually lived within large, hovering globes.[1] Skijid Vrescot was a J'feh crime lord and the Count of Cheelit who operated on The Wheel during the last decades of the Galactic Republic. The rubbery-skinned J'feh crossed the Glottalphib piratess Kliskud, who ate Vrescot, finding the alien tasty if tough to chew.[2] The J'feh Lady Dhol[2] later occupied the Hive Palace on Cheelit, and there attempted to entrap the Sith Lord Darth Vader in a game of firepath during the Galactic Civil War, but was incinerated in the game.[1]
Behind the scenes
The J'feh species first appeared in Dark Lord's Conscience, a comic story written by Alan Moore and illustrated by John Stokes, and originally released in 1982's The Empire Strikes Back Monthly 155.[1] However, the species' name was not given until over 20 years later, in Abel G. Peña and Rich Handley's StarWars.com reference article Viva Space Vegas! The History of the Marvelous Wheel.[2]
