Mimph

"Give up! You're a prisoner of the Mimphs!"

- Smasher

Mimphs were small, semi-sentient creatures native to the Forest Moon of Endor. Though not fully sentient, mimphs were intelligent, able to comprehend and even use language and tools. By working together, they were often able to capture much larger prey. In 3 ABY, a group of mimphs from a community near Bright Tree Village captured the Ewok Wicket Wystri Warrick.

Biology and appearance
"Captured by a bunch of runts. If anyone sees me like this, I'll never live it down!"

- Wicket Wystri Warrick

Mimphs were tiny, semi-sentient creatures which stood about ankle-high on an Ewok. A mimph stood on two legs, and also had two three-fingered arms, two long ears, a tail, and a mouth full of teeth. Mostly covered in pink fur, the lower half of a mimph's face was white, as was the inside of its ears. Their two eyes were mostly white, with black pupils and pink lids.

Society and culture
"We're taking you back to our village!" "Yeah, our village!"

- Two mimphs

History
"Please, take this gift." "What is it?" "A mimph tooth for your belt of honor! Trasher lost it in a fight."

- Smasher and Wicket

Behind the scenes
Mimphs formed an integral part of the story in "Gone with the Mimphs", the ninth episode of the second season of the Star Wars: Ewoks television series, and appeared briefly in the season's thirteenth episode, "The Season Scepter".

The article "A Star Wars CELibration", which was published in the 1995 magazine Star Wars Insider 27 and which provides plot summaries for all Star Wars: Ewoks and Star Wars: Droids episodes, capitalizes the M in "Mimph." However, the 2008 reference book The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, which establishes that the creatures are semi-sentient and native to Endor, does not. This article assumes that the more recent Encyclopedia is correct.
