Ice Demon

"Destroy him, Wicket! The Ice Demon commands you!"

- Stagorr, ordering Wicket W. Warrick to kill Logray

Ice Demons were sentient humanoids with ice-like traits, such as bodies that looked like white crystal and the ability to resist severe cold. They had long, curved horns and icicle-like, sharp teeth. Their eyes were black with white centers, and their feet ended in sharp spikes.

At least one member of the species, the sorcerer known as Stagorr, lived on the Forest Moon of Endor. Several years before 3 ABY, Stagorr fought a duel with the Ewok shaman Logray and was banished to the inside of Ice Mountain. The Ice Demon hatched a scheme to lure Logray back to free him, but it backfired when Wicket W. Warrick used fire magic to melt some ice, douse the Ice Demon in water, and kill him when it refroze.

Biology and appearance
"No! Not water!"

- Stagorr, just before his death

Ice Demons were a sentient species with an ice-like appearance. Their bodies were humanoid with musculature similar to other such species. The stood about two meters tall, and each hand had five digits, while each foot came to a single, sharp point. Their eyes were black with white centers, and their noses were pointed and hooked. Each Ice Demon had a large mouth filled with sharp, icicle-like teeth, more on the bottom than on the top, and a white tongue. Their heads were crowned by two curved horns that pointed toward the sky.

Their ice-like traits set them apart from other humanoids. Ice Demons were white and icy, glistening blue in certain lighting conditions. The effect was so pronounced that icicles seemed to grow from their bodies. Their frosty natures made them resistant to severe cold, but also vulnerable to liquid water. If an Ice Demon was doused with this liquid, the water would quickly freeze, fatally entombing the Ice Demon inside.

History
"Stagorr dwells inside Ice Mountain! Stagorr, the evil Ice Demon! I myself imprisoned him there many years ago! And now, thanks to my carelessness, he may have found a way out!"

- Logray

Years before 3 ABY, the Ice Demon Stagorr had established himself as a powerful sorcerer on the Forest Moon of Endor. This brought him into contact with Logray, the Ewok shaman of Bright Tree Village. The two fought a magical duel, during which Logray banished the Ice Demon to imprisonment within Endor's Ice Mountain. Stagorr never gave up hope of leaving his prison, and he continued to spy on his old rival via a magical ice mirror. When he saw the young Ewok Wicket W. Warrick take Logray's staff, Stagorr seized the moment to transport the Ewok to him via a wind tunnel spell and, he hoped, lure Logray back to Ice Mountain.

The Ice Demon could not touch Logray's staff, the instrument that had banished him, so he put a hex on Warrick that forced the Ewok to obey his commands. Stagorr (via his proxy) dueled Logray when he arrived, but the shaman managed to counter Stagorr's every spell. The sorceror finally threatened to kill Warrick and forced Logray to relinquish the staff to him. The Ice Demon scoffed as the younger Ewok attacked with a simple, fire-based magic trick. Nevertheless, the fire melted some of the Ice Mountain interior and caused liquid water to fall on Stagorr's body. As it refroze, he lost the ability to move and died.

Behind the scenes
Stagorr the Ice Demon appears in Ewoks 6: The Ice Demon, an issue of the Marvel Ewoks comic book written by David Manak and illustrated by Warren Kremer. At one point in the story, Stagorr summons two icy humanoids to aid him, creatures Wicket W. Warrick calls "ice creatures." The two beings appear similar in appearance to Stagorr (although they lack horns) so they may represent more Ice Demons.

Stagorr's origins on Endor are not documented in existing sources. The book Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds, p. 40, implies that only Ewoks and Yuzzums are native to the Forest Moon of Endor. The article "Castaways of Endor" adds only Duloks to this list and implies that all other sentients on Endor have been introduced from other worlds. These sources explain that such arrivals were relatively common thanks to the a massive gravity shadow and a shield of space debris that crashed ships on the moon. Nevertheless, Ice Demons cannot be ruled out as a native Endorian species from current sources.
