Jeby

The Jeby was an a creature that dwelled on the rainbow-colored world of Rainboh, a planet of the Hapes Cluster. They were jovial creatures, shedding their pink spots whenever they laughed. The Jeby would then have to use their twelve tentacles to gather their spots, and reattach them to their bodies.

Biology and appearance
The Jeby had three heads, and a scaly white body, which was covered by pink spots. On either side of the body, they featured six tentacles. The Jeby was also supported by four legs. The Jeby's spots were detachable in the case of a given individual laughing, but could be sucked up by the Jeby's tentacles. The tentacles could also be used to manipulate other objects. Atop each of its three heads was a single black hair follicle, which would stand straight up. Their necks, which all originated at the one point on the body, were segmented halfway down, into two different colors&mdash;for example, one neck could be red and yellow, whereas another could be green and light green. The tentacles of the Jeby were white, although they featured a pink band halfway, and on their tips. The Jeby's legs were also banded pink and white.

Behavior
Jeby were prone to mirth&mdash;their laughter would cause the pink spots covering their body to fall off. As a result, the Jeby would be forced to recollect their lost spots with their tentacles, and reinstate them on their bodies. When detached, the spots of the Jeby would litter the surface of their home planet, Rainboh.

History
The Jeby dwelled on the rainbow-colored planet of Rainboh, which was located within the Hapes Cluster, an area of space that was cut off from the galaxy at large between 3,100 BBY until 8 ABY.

Behind the scenes
The Jeby was created by Paul Rice, a Star Wars fan, as part of the Design An Alien contest held in the Star Wars Galaxy Magazines. Though the entry was not picked as a winner, it was given an honorable mention in Star Wars Galaxy 7.
