Toydarian/Legends

"I'm a Toydarian. Mind tricks don't work on me, only money."

- Watto

The Toydarians were a race of avian beings from Toydaria. They were strong-willed, resistant to Jedi mind tricks, and had a body odor similar to sweetspice. They had a reputation for being stingy and bad-tempered. Toydarians were supposedly distant relations of the Hutts due to their home world's proximity to Nal Hutta as well as their similar resistance to the mind trick.

Biology and appearance


Toydarians had stubbly trunks on their faces which rested above short tusks. They had three fingers on each hand. A Toydarian's thin legs ended in webbed, three-toed feet, but their primary mode of transportation was their use of the wings on their upper back. Their wings could beat as fast as ten times a second, burning up large amounts of energy. Though their wings appeared frail, Toydarians could fly quite rapidly and preferred flight to walking.

In order to fuel this hyperactive metabolism, Toydarians would eat concentrated foods and egg-seeds. Most bloodiest wars in their history were fought over food supplies. Their bellies were also filled with a buoyant gas which helped them stay aloft, thus creating the appearance of a pot belly. Despite appearing pudgy, Toydarians were actually one of the lightest races in the galaxy because their body tissue was spongy and gas-filled. They were capable of flying from birth.

Their skin was usually gray or blue although green and purple variants were common among females. The males of the species usually showed sparse whiskers. Toydarian newborns emerged from their mothers' wombs fully developed, resembling miniature versions of their parents, and were able to fly from birth.

They were immune to mind tricks.

Society and culture


Toydarian government was a sovereign feudal system with one ruling king and many vassals. These vassals vied for power under the king's rule. The king made sure to keep his vassals happy and to have their allegiance, but would occasionally encourage infighting to reveal the true character of the vassals and weed out treachery.
