A sentient species characterized by tentacle-like growths on its members' faces, was found on several planets in the galaxy around the times of the Clone Wars.

Biology and appearance

The species had somewhat large, wide heads, with a total of four small, proboscis-like tentacles hanging from their face; one was hanging from either side of their upper lip, near where the upper and lower lips met, and one slightly further to each side, draping from near each cheekbone. They also had stout hands and feet, with no nails.[1]

History

In the relatively recent past[3] compared to the times of the Clone Wars some members of the species[1] were the survivors of a shipwreck that crashed on the planet Balnab. They settled down becoming the only intelligent species on the world.[3] In 20 BBY[4] C-3PO and R2-D2 landed on Balnab after the ship became low on fuel, after which some of the survivors held them hostage. Their captors took them to the "god" of Balnab, named Albee Dewaw; soon thereafter, R2 and C-3PO uncovered the truth behind the "god" - it was a group of pit droids using a hologram. This revelation was made much to the dismay of their captors, who believed Albee Dewaw was real.[1]

The bounty hunter Oked was also a member of this tentacle-faced species.[5]

The owner of the cantina Plop Dribble's, Loubo, was also a member of this species, as well as a customer seen inside Plop Dribble's.[2]

A member of this species lived in the settlement of Pons Ora, on the planet Abafar.[6]
