Saurin/Legends

The Saurin were a reptilian species from the planet Durkteel. They were a subspecies of Trandoshan that evolved along a separate lineage from their ancestors, notably different in their physiology for featuring more pronounced eye orbits, translucent eyes, and having adapted five-fingered hands, with shorter fingers than their genetic cousins.

It is unknown if Saurins carried the Trandoshan ability to regenerate lost limbs, or held any of the basic beliefs, such as scoring kills to appease the deity The Scorekeeper.

Two members of this species, Hrchek Kal Fas and Sai'torr Kal Fas, were present in the Mos Eisley Cantina at the same time that Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were there to charter the service of the Millennium Falcon.
