Grummgar

Grummgar was a Dowutin male who worked as a big game hunter and mercenary.

Biography
Around thirty years after the Battle of Endor, he spent time in the castle of the pirate Maz Kanata on the planet Takodana with the mercenary Bazine Netal, who he assumed was attracted to him, being too self-centered to consider she might have another agenda. The pair sat together near the castle's door, with Netal on Grummgar's massive lap, from where she had a view of everything going on in the castle. When the smuggler Han Solo arrived at the castle with the scavenger Rey, the former stormtrooper Finn and the astromech droid BB-8, Netal recognized the droid as one the First Order were after. Whispering into Grummgar's ear, she slid off his lap and left to report the droid's whereabouts to the First Order. The patrons of the castle rushed outside soon after Netal left, as the destruction of the Hosnian system by the First Order's Starkiller Base superweapon was visible and audible from Takodana. The castle itself was then attacked and destroyed based on Netal's report.

Personality and traits
Grummgar was obsessed with trophies, be they parts taken from exotic animals illegally poached, or woman attracted to his brute magnetism. He had yellow skin and wore a yellow outfit over it with a brown jacket. He carried a hunting rifle with a remote trigger interface and a sniper barrel flash suppressor.

Behind the scenes
Grummgar was created for the film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, but was first shown to the public in an exclusive Vanity Fair article released in May 2015, seven months before the film's release. His name was then revealed in the promotion of the short story "Bait", which was written by Alan Dean Foster and included Grummgar as the central character. The name and appearance were finally linked by Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary, a reference book written by Pablo Hidalgo and released the same day as the film.
