His name is Huper Tenrecs, another great design by @luke.d.fisher hair I’m sure is by @maria_cork_art or one of her team, performed by Hugh Purves" (backup link)

Talpiddians were a sentient species that existed in the galaxy. They had acute eyesight at close range, but had difficulty identifying individuals of other species, particularly humans. Their hair could stand on end as a threat gesture, or when they were nervous. Huper Tenrecs was a Talpiddian weapons specialist who worked with the Resistance.^[1] The species shared its name with Talpiddi, an astronomical object in the Outer Rim Territories.^[3]
