- "Duloks and Ewoks are natural enemies, I suppose that's what comes of fighting over the same resources when you're bound to a planet."
- ―Imara Vex
Duloks were an aggressive sentient species native to the forest moon of Endor, where they lived in swamps.
Biology and appearance

Duloks were a swamp-based sentient species native to Endor, a forest moon in the Outer Rim Territories. They were an aggressive race[1] of gangly bipeds whose upper limbs ended in four-fingered hands. They sported long floppy ears and a mouth full of teeth, two of which were particularly large and fitted along the margin of the upper jaw when the mouth was closed.[3] They would emerge from the swamps to hunt lantern birds and the sentient Ewok species, with whom they shared the moon[1] and competed with over resources. The human Imara Vex once stated the relationship between the Ewoks and Duloks was that of "natural enemies" due to that competition.[2]
History
One faction of Duloks were the Children of Vulgarr, who were led by King Gorneesh. Also among their number was a religious leader. During the New Republic Era, Gorneesh and his followers attempted to usurp control of the Ewok Bright Tree Village, kicking off the Ewok Civil War.[4]
Behind the scenes
Duloks were created for The Adventures of Teebo: A Tale of Magic and Suspense, a Star Wars Legends children's book written and illustrated by Joe Johnston and released in 1984. They also featured prominently as villains in the animated television series Ewoks, which was also part of the Legends continuity. The species was confirmed to be canon in 2014 by the workbook Star Wars Workbook: 2nd Grade Reading.
