Dulok/Legends

"Always and always the Duloks smirch our trails, play us their tricks, steal of our harvest. I have no trust for them."

- Warok

The Duloks were a sentient species native to the the Forest Moon of Endor. They were distantly related to the Ewoks, but, unlike their cousins, Duloks were tall (averaging 1.5 meters), lanky beings with long, tufted ears and tails, sharp teeth, and eyes that ranged in color from yellow to red. The Duloks were covered in green fur, although their brows and noses were brown. Their lips, upper faces, palms, and soles were hairless and gray-skinned. Duloks typically wore little or no clothing, although some individuals wore decorations made from bones and shells or painted symbols on their fur. They were perpetually unkempt and infested with insects. Many Duloks spoke a language that was intelligible with Ewokese and may have been a dialect of it.

Duloks tended to live in swampy regions. Their villages were made up of rotting logs and dark caverns, which the beings embellished with structures made of wood, animal skins, and bones. The Duloks were divided into various tribes, each headed by a king. This individual was usually the strongest Dulok present and ruled by cowing the others into doing his bidding. Duloks were religious, which led to some power falling to shamans and oracles.

In contrast to the Ewoks, Duloks had little respect for nature and were greedy and foul-tempered. Dulok culture was aggressive and warlike, with frequent raids on nearby settlements. Dulok bands were particularly keen to conquer Ewok villages, which made them the biggest threat to many Ewok groups. A Dulok tribe led by King Gorneesh and his shaman Umwak was frequently at odds with the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village. They occasionally allied themselves with Morag, the Tulgah witch, to pursue their incursions into the Ewoks' territory. Some other Dulok tribes were enemies of the Sanyassan Marauders, but General Yavid's battle strategies kept them at bay.

During the Clone Wars, a Dulok was seen on Coruscant. It is unknown how or why he or she came to Coruscant.

Behind the scenes
The Duloks were introduced as a rival group to the Ewoks in the Star Wars: Ewoks animated series, which began airing in 1985. That same year, Kenner released four Dulok action figures as part of its toy line based on the series: Dulok Scout (a generic member of the species), Dulok Shaman (Umwak), King Gorneesh, and Urgah Lady Gorneesh.
