- "It's settled, then. Let this be an official Declaration of Rebellion. Today we vow to overturn the Empire in order that the galaxy and all its peoples will be one day free, be they human or Hamadryas, Wookiee, or Weequay."
- ―Bail Organa
The Hamadryas were a simian humanoid species[2] with green skin and ape-like snouts.[4] They seemed to not possess the need to blink, and the species lacked a true carotid artery.[5]
The holoperformer Cebann Veekan was a notable member of this species.[4] Senator Haydel Goravvus of Taris was a Human/Hamadryas hybrid.[2]
Behind the scenes
The name of this species was created by Bob Vitas as part of the What's The Story? campaign on StarWars.com.[4]
The species was named after the Hamadryas baboon.[6]
As revealed in his Star Wars Blog, Bob Vitas intended that the Hamadryas species to be from a planet called "Papio".[6]
