Felucian shaman

The Felucian Shaman was a position held by members of the Felucian species.

Overview
These individuals were the spiritual leaders of the Felucian race and were capable of using the Force to heal their comrades or surorund themselves in a defensive aura that was harmful to attackers.

When pressed into battle, they were capable of defending themselves but often attempted to flee such engagements in order to use a combination of Force talents and their innate camouflage abilities to seemingly disappear to a safer distance from their enemies.

They typically held a wooden staff.

History
Numerous shamans were present on Felucia to defend Jedi master Shaak Ti from Darth Vader's assassin. However, many were killed in this attempt and when Shaak Ti died in the Ancient Abyss, a Shaman inspected the Sarlacc to determine if she had survived. Once it was confirmed she died, the Felucians allowed Marek to leave their world.

Sometime later, Shaak Ti's padawan Maris Brood began to fall to the Dark side of the Force which was corrupting the Felucians as well. When Marek returned to free Bail Prestor Organa, he had to fight numerous shamans once again on that planet.
