The Yuzzum

Yuzzums are a sentient species native to the Forest Moon of Endor. Members of the species are generally humanoid, with round bodies covered in thick fur and long, spindly limbs. Nevertheless, the species showed a great deal of genetic diversity. Some had wide, toothy mouths, while others had fangs. Their eyes ranged from black to yellow in color. Yuzzum feet were also variable, with some groups having hooves, some having pawlike feet, and others claws. Some Yuzzums had long, pointed ears, while others had no ears to speak of. Most Yuzzums were quite tall, although shorter individuals were born occasionally. These dwarf Yuzzums were often social outcasts.
Yuzzums lived in small groups that traveled the plains of Endor's moon. They spent much of their day hunting rodents, such as ruggers, that lived in the tall grasses. Some Yuzzums had learned to domesticate the arachnoid rakazzak beasts as mounts to aid them in the hunt. Although a few Yuzzums had no technology at all, other groups fashioned primitive spears and forked lances for use in hunting and self-defense. A group of blue-furred Yuzzums worked for Morag, the Tulgah witch, in Mount Thunderstone.
The Yuzzums spoke a language known as Yuzzum. The tongue was very musical in nature, and it may have been the basis for Ewokese.
Yuzzums were sometimes exported as pets, despite the fact that they were sentient. Their musical language made them naturals to find work as singers.
A Yuzzum named Joh Yowza occasionally sang with the Max Rebo Band, while another known as Wam Lufba worked as an exterminator.
