Dowutin

The Dowutin were a species of large humanoids that hailed from Dowut, a Core World. They were known for their mercenaries. Grummgar, a member of this species, was present at Maz Kanata's castle with the spy Bazine Netal just before the First Order attacked.

Behind the scenes
The Dowutin were first pictured in a Vanity Fair article released May 4, 2015 which included a group photo of characters in Maz Kanata's castle. The species later appeared in a video shown at Comic-Con. The species appeared in canon in early December 2015 with an expansion added to the mobile game Star Wars: Commander. They then appear in the film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens.
