Legend

an alien race native to Endor's forest moon, Yuzzums were actually a variety of fur-covered mammals who were part of the same zoological family as the Ewoks. They had round, furry bodies supported by long, thin legs. These long legs were used to keep the Yuzzum's head just barely above the savanna grasses of the Dragon's Pelt, where the Yuzzumi hunted for ruggers. Their wide mouths were filled with pointed teeth, and their eyes seemed to glow. Rather than walking, the Yuzzumi rode about on large, three-meter-tall spider-like creatures. Individual Yuzzum had a fair amount of intelligence, but seemed incapable of understanding other lifeforms. They were once taken off the Sanctuary Moon and sold as pets, but their nature did not make them very good pets. The Yuzzum had a musical language, and many - like Joh Yowza - found employment offworld as singers. As a people, the Yuzzum were a warlike race, although this trait often overshadowed their natural cunning and curiosity. Individual Yuzzum were known to reach the age of fifty standard years or more.
