Hutt

"You can't take Her Royal Highness there! The Hutts are gangsters..."

- Panaka

Hutts were a large slug-like sentient species who were native to the planet Nal Hutta. They were well known as galactic gangsters whose Grand Hutt Council controlled the Hutt Clan crime syndicate. One famous Hutt was the crime lord Jabba, who ruled his criminal empire from a palace on Tatooine.

Biology and appearance
Hutts were a massive slug-like species who had large mouths and stubby arms. They were tough and muscular with thick leathery skin. Hutts often had watery eyes and slack facial expressions.

Their homeworld of Nal Hutta had a hot atmosphere and was frequently streaked by greasy rains, creating a fetid sauna in which Hutts were most comfortable.

Some Hutts suffered from a genetic defect that caused their skin to be bereft of pigment and prone to cracking.

Behind the scenes
It was revealed by Pablo Hidalgo at Celebration Anaheim that Hutts have separate sexes in canon, no longer being hemaphroditic as they were in the Star Wars Legends continutity.
