Gruvian
The Gruvians were the native sentients of the planet Gruvia in the Expansion Region.
Biology and appearance
Gruvians were tall, green, mound-shaped beings who shuffled along without visible legs or feet. They had two mouths, eight eye stalks, and four thin arms with three-fingered hands.[1]
Two well-known Gruvians were Benja and Olall Da'aapp, two tourists who were often seen at the Kuat Passenger Port during the Imperial era.[1] Gruvians were known for their alcoholic beverage, Gruvian Tovash.[2]
Behind the scenes
A Gruvian-like alien appears in "In the Beginning". This character has ten eyes, and only one visible mouth and pair of arms. This may either represent a variation in Gruvian appearance, or a different species.
