Moggonite

The Moggonites of Arorua were better known as one of the most obnoxious and treacherous species in the galaxy. They were short mammalian creatures, standing approximately 1/2 meters tall. They were able to interbreed with at least one other species: Big Gizz, the leader of Jabba Desilijic Tiure's swoop gang, was a Moggonite hybrid.

Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi experienced a sour encounter with a Moggonite named Mosko Bolpa on the planet Arorua in 44 BBY.

Behind the scenes

Moggonites first appeared in the short comic "Life, Death, and the Living Force". Big Gizz from Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire was later retconned as a Moggonite hybrid.
