Glurrgs were a race of bipedal beings who were employed as workers for the Gungan civilizations of Naboo. Glurrgs were incapable of communicating in Galactic Basic Standard, though they were skilled in a variety of areas, including farming, construction, fishing, hunting, and mining ores and nova crystals for use in building and maintaining Gungan settlements. Glurrgs were also capable of harvesting carbon from trees for conversion into duraplast at a carbon processing center.

Glurrgs were a pivotal part of Gungan society and had been for at least three millennia before the Battle of Yavin, during the War of the Gungan Tribes. It was not known if glurrgs were a separate species or if they were genetically related to the Gungans who employed them. However, glurrgs were efficient laborers who compared favorably with the labor droids used by other contemporary civilizations, but they were also unable to serve as warriors or leaders. The glurrg continued to contribute valuable labor to the Gungan society up to and during the Invasion of Naboo by the Trade Federation and later on.
