Dizzy (Ugnaught)

Dizzy was an Ugnaught adrenaline-junkie joyrider^[1] active in the Hunters of the Outer Rim tournament at the Grand Arena on the planet Vespaara following the fall of the Galactic Empire.^[4] Reveling in roadkill, Dizzy operated a modified droideka. The two went by the united persona of Slingshot.^[1] Over the various fights in the tournament, Slingshot gained a rivalry with fellow competitors Utooni. The Jawa brothers targeted Dizzy's droideka, whom Dizzy perceived as family.^[2]During one of his early fights, Dizzy accidentally ran over Sentinel's foot while on his team.^[5]

When Dizzy first acquired his droideka partner, he was shunned by many people on his homeworld who thought him a fool for restoring a droideka. He enjoyed that his fellow Hunters on Vespaara never made him feel unwelcome. Dizzy often tinkered with his droideka. At one point, he worked on a podracer kit after a match in the Hunters of the Outer Rim competition.^[5]

When goons attacked the Grand Arena intent on destroying it, Dizzy and his droideka fought against the invaders.^[5]
