"They were genetical cousins to the Hutts like the t'landa Til and the Yahk-Tosh, and were also resistant to Force mind tricks."
It's well-established that the t'landa Til are relatives of the Hutts, but where does it say the Yahk-Tosh are too, or that the Toydarians are related to any of the above? Is this pure speculation based on the mind-trick thing? The fact that someone used the non-word "genetical" seems to cast the whole thing into question.--Valin Kenobi 15:31, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)
It is said in ep.1 that they are ressistant to mind tricks. But i'm not sure about the other things. P.h 23:59, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)p.h
Boba Fett resisted Vader's mind tricks. Obviously he's related to the hutts. Linkman95 02:50, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Answering Linkman95's response. Jedi Mindtricks only work on the weakminded. Boba Fett is strongminded and unlike some humans, could resist them. However, all Toydarians have this ability because of their unique brain structure.--Thoggnee 04:36, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
I think Linkman95 was only being sarcastic, you know. -Xicufwm 02:11, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
Has it been established that Toydarians are true birds or avians,not many birds have a flexible proboscis,this trait seems to be more mammalian or the In-Universe classification of reptavian or reptomammal.
Hutts
"They were supposedly distantly related to Hutts, on account of their homeworld's proximity to Nal Hutta and Nar Shaddaa, as well as their resistance to mind tricks (similar to Hutts)."
Proximity to Nal Hutta means nothing, because Hutts are native to Varl, not Nal Hutta. So....--Valin Kenobi 22:18, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Image
That image still isn't cutting it. Should we just get a new scan (and don't even try to mess with the background), or just use a Watto image? (Or is there another good Toydarian pic?) -- Ozzel 19:35, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
A Watto image should work. Chack Jadson 20:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
How's this? Chack Jadson 01:26, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Am I missing something? The NEGAS one looks good to me.--Valin Kenobi 08:09, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Check out the wings. The original version uploaded had some horrible airbrushing. Someone helped it out a little, but it still looks pretty bad. As for that Watto image, it is good, but I'd hate for it to be the main image on two articles. -- Ozzel 20:57, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Maybe you could use the up close one here for Watto's main image and use the full on version for the Toydarian article? There are plenty of other images of Watto that could be displayed on the Toydarian page instead. --Amthyst fire 08:03, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
you could always use a snapshot of the toydarian guards in "Ambush". They're pretty much the only example of "average" toydarians without significant importance. The article needs more pics in general.--207.166.3.62 20:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Body odor??
What authoritative source supplied THAT tidbit of information? 68.36.117.147 23:16, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter, chapter 2: but fortunately the Toydarian's body odor wasn't offensive; in fact, it reminded Lorn of sweetspice. — although it might refer to that indivudal Toydarian's body odor. --Skippy Farlstendoiro 08:10, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
Walking?
It says in the article that toydarians "prefer flying to walking," implying that toydarians walk on a regular basis. I don't think they walk at all. I don't know about anyone else, but I honestly don't think that those skinny little legs, and that tubby belly, would allow them the ability to walk.
Of all Watto's appearances in the movies, he is flying or sitting. Even when he is talking to Anakin, he flies straight from a sitting position to a flying position. And when the King and his guards are knocked down by Ventress, they use their wings to get straight back up into the air, not using their legs at all.
I find this lack of use means that their legs are vestigial and incapable of supporting weight. If so, I think that this should be stated in the article. Also, I do not think they are avian. I think they are mammals because of the trunk and whiskers. —Unsigned comment byBoss-Nass (talk • contribs)
Well, unless a source states something, we can't put it in the article, per our attribution policy. So if you can find sources to back up your assumptions, please feel free to edit the article to put them in. Also, please don't forget to sign your comments by typing ~~~~.

Chaotic?
this is completely speculation, but don't Toydarians seem to be all a bit chaotic? They tend to depend on the fate too much, as shown in Watto and Katuuko's use of chance cubes to decide on important issues. Also, King Katuunko simply accepts a bet on Yoda's life to decide wich side his whole planet should take on the war (though he demonstrates to be more likely to take Yoda's side). Well, that's just the way I see it. It could be a characteristic of these two individuals alone or the whole species. --Xicufwm 02:31, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
AVIAN?
I do not think toydarians would be related to birds. They might as well be winged pachydermoids, reptavians, "mammavians", or reptomammals.
Here are some reasons why.
1# a small trunk
2# tusk-like fangs
3# a robust stomach
If it is neither of those animal genuses, then toydarians should be considered to be in an unknown animal genus that I would call "reptomammphibianfisharthropodarachnavians."
Whatever they are, we aren't supposed to speculate on Wookieepedia. We have a strict policy about citing our sources, to prevent us from accidentally introducing fanon. So, Toydarians are what canon sources say they are. ~Savage 21:03, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
