Clawdite/Legends



Clawdites were a humanoid species native to the planet of Zolan. They were one of the few shape-shifting species in the Galaxy, and were sometimes referred to as Changelings.

The Clawdites were the genetic offspring of the Zolanders, the dominant species on Zolan. When Zolanders discovered that their sun had increased its radioactive emissions, they tried to unleash a gene in the Zolander skin cells to activate natural protection against radiation. The results created a new species, Clawdites, which were metamorphs. Clawdites could change their appearance, if keeping body mass as a constant and not retaining the same aspect for a long time, although it was difficult. Due to their abilities, they were often mistaken for Shi'ido. Zolanders ostracized Clawdites and they had many civil wars, but in the end, Clawdites subjugated Zolanders.

The Clawdites served the New Republic as infiltrators during the Yuuzhan Vong War. The assassin Zam Wesell, who operated during the last decades of the Galactic Republic, was a notable member of this race.
