Strono Tuggs

Strono Tuggs, also known as Cookie, was a deformed Artiodac male who for centuries served as the cook in the castle of the pirate Maz Kanata. He was present in the castle when Kanata's old friend Han Solo arrived with the scavenger Rey, the former stormtrooper Finn and the astromech droid BB-8 in tow. Shortly after their arrival, many of the castle's occupants rushed out to watch as the First Order's Starkiller Base superweapon destroyed the Hosnian system, after which First Order forces attacked Kanata's castle and destroyed it. Tuggs had a surly attitude, which was the subject of a good-natured ribbing from many of the patrons who ate his cooking at the castle. He had pink and gray skin and white eyes. While working int he castle he wore a leather apron and used a kitchen vibro-knife.

Behind the scenes
Strono Tuggs first appeared as a minor background character in the film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, which was released in 2015. The character's appearance however, had been revealed to the public seven months earlier through an exclusive article on the website of Vanity Fair. Having not been named in either the film or article, Tuggs was identified by the reference book Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo and released the day after the film.
