"Some little… bat weasel? I don't know. Like an Ugnaught with a gland issue or somethin'. I thought he was a really hairy kid at first."
―The Scrapper[13]

The Chadra-Fan was a sentient species of meter-tall, rodent-like humanoids from the Outer Rim world of Chad. They had large ears, and flat noses with four nostrils.[7] The Chadra-Fans Troo-tril-tek[14] and Tiver were bounty hunters during the Republic Era[8] while Piikow[12] and another Chadra-Fan were rebels that opposed the Galactic Empire.[15] The Chadra-Fans Shortpaw[7] and Orka were junk sellers.[16] Many other sentient beings looked down on Chadra-Fans and saw them as pets or lesser beings.[11]

Biology and appearance

"I wanted adventure, but no one seems to take me seriously."
"It is probably because you are diminutive and furry, and you have a high voice. These traits combine to trick the human mind into thinking you are a child or a pet because humans are of lesser intellect."
―Kriki and Pook[11]
