Snivvian

Snivvians, nicknamed Snaggletooths were a sentient mammalian, humanoid species native to the planet Cadomai Prime. They had large mouths and short fangs. The winters on their home planet were long, harsh, and difficult to survive. During this time, the Snivvians spent their time in underground caverns in artistic pursuits. Some of the species escaped the icy tundras to become bounty hunters offworld. As a species they displayed great tracking skills, so were particularly suited to this work. Sol Charless, Geezum, Drix Gil, Katt Mol, Narb, Nod, Sinrich, Takeel, and Zutton were members of the species.

Biology and appearance
Snivvians were mammalian humanoids distinguishable by their large nostrils and their protruding lower jaws, with two small tusks. Their hair color varied between brown and black, but they possessed a larger variation of skin and eye colors.

The Snivvian bounty hunter Sinrich came to invent the holographic disguise matrix, a personal holographic projection device that allowed the user to disguise themselves as someone else.

They later joined the Spectres and the Lothal resistance at their base. After the rebels gave away their location to Lothal's governor Arihnda Pryce in order to lure her in and capture her. The former mining guild slaves were among the defenders fighting Pryce's forces when they attacked. The Snivvian, who was manning a large gun, was among the defenders killed in the attack.

Geezum was also on Jabba's sail barge, the Khetanna, for Skywalker and Solo's execution. However, Skywalker was able to obtain his lightsaber again and began killing Jabba's men. Geezum was dashing around on the Khetenna before Skywalker and his friends destroyed it.
