Snivvian/Legends

Coming from Cadomai Prime, Snivvians were short humanoids with protruding jaws and short fangs, sometimes called Snaggletooths. Because they came from a cold world, evolution gave them thick skin instead of fur. They were excellent scouts and trackers, but they were especially obsessive artists. Frequently, a Snivvian author researched characters in their work first-hand, sometimes with great risk. When two twin males were born, one of them was always a psychotic genius, so they tried to control their genetics (but not always successful).Most Snivvians had chosen to speak Basic as well as a diverse range of secondary languages. Some refused to let go of their native tongue for symbolic, subtextual, or fashionable reasons. The Snivvians were almost driven into extiction by the Thalassian Slavers who sold their pelts for profit, until the Old Republic stopped it.

Snivvians were among the most renowned artists in the Galaxy. They produced masterpieces in holography, painting, sculpture, music, and the written word. However, they had a similar reputation for sociopathic tendencies as the race Trandoshans.

Takeel and Zutton were two well-known Snivvians. These brothers were found in the Mos Eisley Cantina circa 0–1 ABY. Marn Hierogryph was a Snivvian black-marketeer who lived on Taris during the Mandalorian Wars.
