Vodran (species)/Legends

The Vodrans are a species of 1.8 meter tall humanoid reptiles, with tough skin ranging in coloration from olive to brown, and a small frame of spiny horns around their faces. Though warm blooded, they still lay eggs like other reptiles, and an egg clutch will typically produce two or three Vodrans young. They are native to a planet that shares their name, on the fringes of the Si'klaata Cluster.

Before the founding of the Galactic Republic, the Vodrans were approached by Dojundo the Hutt, an emissary from the Hutt Empire, to recruit the Vodrans for the Hutt's war with the legendary Xim the Despot. The Vodrans, believing the Hutts to be godlike demons, agreed to serve the Hutts, and their presence (along with that of the Weequay, Klatooinans and Nikto) was instrumental in defeating Xim's army of war droids at the Third Battle of Vontor. Afterwards, the Hutts had the Vodran representative, Kl'ieutu Mutela, along with the representatives of the Klatooinans and Nikto, sign themselves into "eternal" servitude. Ever since, the Vodrans have served the Hutts loyally.

Vodrans have adopted Hutt culture as their own. Their society is organized into miniature kajidics, and their family clans answer directly to the Hutt Clan of Ancients. Their dealings with the rest of the galaxy go through their Hutt masters.
