Sayormi

The Sayormi was a mysterious race who were believed to be ghosts that haunted the lower regions of the Kkowir Forest on Kashyyyk. The Wookiees of the Kerritamba Tribe often fought with the Sayormi who they believed constantly searched for blood as evidenced by the bodies of humanoid (which included Wookiee) bodies that hung outside their territory.

The Sayormi were actually an ancient race of humanoids who made this deep level of the Forest their home which they defended ferociously. They worshipped a dead patheon of deities and tamed some of the wild life for their use.

Behind the scenes
The Sayormi, in terms of name, appearance, and out-of-place immigration, resemble the Sanyassan Marauders of Endor.
