One Sneevel possessed fur that was beige and gray in color, and also had lightly colored skin in addition to yellow eyes. Sneevel's had pointy ears, and could be identified by their toothy underbites, spade-shaped noses, and hunched posture. Sneevel's also had long, skinny arms.

History
"It's two-time winner, Boles Roor!"

- Fode, a Troig commentator, introduces Roor to the Boonta spectators

The Sneevel Boles Roor called their homeworld Sneeve, and the species had integrated into the large galaxy during the final decades of the Galactic Republic. As a Podracer pilot, Roor competed in at least three Boonta Eve Classic races on the planet Tatooine, two of which they had won. During a later Boonta race, which coincided with the Invasion of Naboo, the race announcer Fode Annodue mentioned Roor's victories as they introduced Roor to race's audience. Despite previous victories, Roor did not win the race, and instead placed sixth. Roor later took their beige-colored Podracer and raced on a snow-covered world ten years later.

Behind the scenes
Sneevels were created for the 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. Although detailed conceptual art and full body maquettes for the species, at the time referred to only as "Shaggy Podracer," the film's resident Sneevel, Boles Roor, only appeared as a low res digital model used for distance shots of the character's Podracer. The maquette of Roor was then used for a holoscreen display that appeared in the commentator box. Roor and their Podracer later appeared again in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones on a holoprojector.

Although the film does not identify the species by name, the canon source book Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know confirmed the name.
