"Passive-aggressive apex predator. Wonderful."
―Chelli Aphra[4]

Defels were a sentient species whose members had the ability to become almost invisible by bending light around themselves. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, a Defel named Arleil Schous was a patron of Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina when Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived in search of transport to Alderaan. Glahst Ombra was a Defel mercenary who worked with Chelli Aphra until she was killed and skinned by Magna Tolvan.

Biology and appearance[]

"Got that creepy shadow aura trick going on with the fur."
―Chelli Aphra, on Glahst Ombra's hiding ability[4]

Defels were a sentient species with brown fur, two red eyes, sharp teeth, and two elongated ears that were pointed upwards. They had two sexes, male[5] and female.[4] Defels had the ability to bend light around themselves to become practically invisible. Elderly Defel, however, tended to lose that ability.[1] Defels had a good sense of smell, being able to scent at least a molecule of blood from six miles away.[4] They could feast on sentient species, but preferred the meat liquified.[6]
