Herglic/Legends

The Herglics were a race native to the planet Giju. They were water-based mammals, and were one of the founding members of the Old Republic, having developed hyperdrive and a trade based empire in the Colonies Region before encountering the Duros. Herglics were pleasant and peaceful, but they had an addiction to gambling and games of chance. Herglics were a very large species, and they felt very sensitive about their size.

Appearance and physiology
Herglics were large bipeds that appeared to have evolved from water-dwelling mammals. Most of the evidence of their water borne ancestry had been bred out so that, for example, fins and flukes were replaced with arms and legs. They did, however, still breath through a blowhole on the top of their heads. The hauum sound of a Herglic clearing their blowhole was a common Herglese word throughout the Tapani Sector where it was used with emphasis to preface a significant remark.

They were tall, extremely wide and had smooth, hairless skin that ranged in color from pale blue to black. A few Herglics, such as the entrepreneur and gambler Narloch, displayed white strips down the sides of their head and arms.
