Legend

the Ithorians were a strange-looking bipedal race of beings that was native of Ithor. The head of an Ithorian appeared to have been stretched and bent like a ladle. The eyes were set at opposite sides of the hammer-shaped top portion of the head, and their mouths were hidden below on the sloping part of the head. They hae wide, flat feet designed to help an individual keep their balance. They also had two throats, so the speaking voice of an Ithorian came out with a weird stereo effect, and this biological phenomenon made their speech hard to understand. This caused them a great deal of pain when the Empire discovered their planet, for the Imperial force's xenophobia was heightened by their inability to communicate with the Ithorians. A large portion of the Ithorian race was eradicated during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, when the planet's ecosystem was destroyed by a virulent bio-weapon. The few survivors were those Ithorians who were off-planet when the attack came, or those that managed to hide underground during the attack.
