The Tulgahs were a sentient species of short beings with squat, humanoid frames and yellow skin. Tulgah were inherently magical. Different Tulgah put their abilities to different uses. For example, some became great healers, while others turned to evil pursuits.
Biology and appearance
The Tulgah were a species of mandrill-faced, sturdy humanoids. They were very short, measuring less than one meter, which was nearly twice smaller as the average Human—the most common species in the galaxy. They had yellowish, leathery skin covered with brown spots. Their faces were elongated and snout-like, and their limbs ended in sharp claws.
Tulgah in the galaxy
In 130 BBY, the colony ship Free Enterprise left Eriadu carrying hundreds of Tulgah and Jinda colonists who planned to settle Kuna's Eye. However, the ship crashed on the forest moon of Endor. There, both species established healthy populations.[1] The evil Tulgah witch Morag was an enemy of the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village during the Galactic Civil War.[2] The Dulok shaman Umwak impersonated a Tulgah trader in order to steal the Hate potion from Ewoks.[3]
In addition to the forest moon, the species was also spotted in Myyydril Caverns on Kashyyyk sometime after the Battle of Yavin.
