Wookie
Wookiees were a species of tall, hairy humanoids that were native to the planet Kashyyyk. The most notable member of this species was the warrior Chewbacca, Han Solo's best friend and co-pilot, who played a vital role in the Clone Wars during the Battle of Kashyyyk, the Galactic Civil War by aiding the Rebel Alliance in their fight against the Galactic Empire, and the war against the First Order. They were quite strong, and were known to rip people's arms out of their sockets when provoked. Though being from a temperate planet better known for its swamps and forests, they were able to be comfortable on icy worlds such as Ilum and Hoth without any protective clothing, including gloves and boots.

Common Customs, Traditions and Rituals
Life Debt:
The Wookie Honor Code requires them to pledge a life debt to anyone they feel has ‘saved their life’. When this happens, they gain the Death Wish and Rage Hindrances regarding the character(s) and rarely leave their side. If separated more than 24 hours, they gain the Major Habit Hindrance until reunited. Anytime the subject of the life debt is in danger, the Wookiee is automatically Shaken per the Rage (Major) Hindrance and may not attempt to end his Rage until the character(s) is no longer in danger.
