'''Paploo''' was an [[Ewok/Legends|Ewok]] from the forest [[Moon/Legends|moon]] of [[Endor/Legends|Endor]]. He was the son of [[Bozzie]], the nephew of Chief [[Chirpa/Legends|Chirpa]], and a close friend of [[Wicket Wystri Warrick/Legends|Wicket W. Warrick]]. He had cinnamon-[[Color/Legends|colored]] fur and wore a smooth stone in the center of his hood. He was a boisterous, sometimes foolhardy, Ewok, especially in his youth.

==Biography==
[[File:Paploo-Ewoks.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Paploo.]]
When he was a younger warrior in [[Bright Tree Village/Legends|Bright Tree Village]], Paploo often got into mischief with Wicket, Teebo, Latara and his cousin, [[Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka|Kneesaa]]. Some of his adventures include protecting the [[Soul Tree]]s from a forest fire, playing the forbidden game "[[drop-the-sack]]", and helping rescue Latara from the clutches of the Duloks. Paploo was somewhat arrogant and boastful, but brave and courageous nonetheless. He often carried and played a horn. Paploo later accompanied Wicket and Kneesaa in investigating [[Agluk]]'s claims that his village had been enslaved by [[Stormtrooper/Legends|Skull-heads]] and that the [[Griagh]] had been unleashed, although he was caught in [[Logray/Legends|Logray's]] magic when he investigated their presence, resulting in his being left behind.

Paploo also played an instrumental role in the [[Battle of Endor/Legends|Battle of Endor]]; while the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel]] strike team was trying to work out a plan to infiltrate the bunker which housed the [[Deflector shield generator/Legends|shield generator]] protecting the [[Death Star II/Legends|second Death Star]], Paploo stole one of the [[Scout trooper/Legends|guards']] [[74-Z speeder bike/Legends|speeder bikes]], thus creating a diversion and giving the Rebel forces an opportunity to strike (although the Rebels initially grew concerned with Paploo's actions, fearing that this would end up exposing their presence to the Imperials).

After the battle, when [[Logray/Legends|Logray]] was ousted as [[Bright Tree Village/Legends|Bright Tree Village's]] medicine man, Paploo was appointed as his replacement by Chief Chirpa. When the angry old shaman placed a curse on the village, Paploo enlisted "The Golden One" ([[C-3PO/Legends|C-3PO]]) for a cleansing ritual which ended the curse.<ref name="Galaxy Guide 5">''[[Galaxy Guide 5: Return of the Jedi]]''</ref>

==Behind the scenes==
[[File:Kenny_Paploo.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Kenny Baker in his Paploo costume.]]
In [[Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi|''Star Wars'': Episode VI ''Return of the Jedi'']], Paploo was portrayed by [[Kenny Baker]], who also portrayed [[R2-D2/Legends|R2-D2]]. Baker was originally supposed to play Wicket, but [[Warwick Davis]], an 11-year-old boy who had charmed the staff, took the role instead. Paploo was voiced by [[Paul Chato]] in the [[Ewoks: Season One|first season]] of [[Ewoks (TV series)|''Ewoks'']].

Decipher's [[Star Wars Customizable Card Game]] "Paploo" card, released as part of the [[Endor Limited]] expansion, initially established [[Warok]] as Paploo's father.<ref name="CCGPaploo">{{CCG|set=Endor Limited|link=Endor-Light/large/paploo.gif|cardname=Paploo}}</ref>

When [[LEGO]] sold a Paploo in [[2009]], the box depicted him being chased by a [[Scout trooper/Legends|scout trooper]] on a [[Speeder bike/Legends|speeder bike]], accurately reflecting his actions in ''Return of the Jedi''.
