"It's the Ishi Tib!"
―An Imperial officer, to Davin Bryce[src]

Ishi Tib were a species of sentient, humanoid amphibians from the planet Tibrin. They had green skin, large eyes that extended from angular stalks on either side of their skull, and a beak-like mouth. Some were seen working for Jabba the Hutt, while others fought for the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

Biology and appearance[]

Two Ishi Tib on Tibrin

Ishi Tib were sentient humanoid amphibians[1] hailing from the planet Tibrin.[3] They were distinguished by their green skin, the two large gold eyes extending from angular stalks on either side of their skull, and their beak-like mouths.[1] Among the Ishi Tib, opening ones beak without a sound was the equivalent of a human frown.[6] They had a very acute sense of smell, and were able to use it on land and underwater,[7] although the species was most comfortable underwater.[4]

Ishi Tib in the galaxy[]

Some Ishi Tib worked as criminals, with one being a part of the Ohnaka Gang[8] and at least two others working for Jabba the Hutt.[9] The Ishi Tib Pendewqell worked for Sidon Ithano.[10] Gume Saam was a senator representing the Techno Union,[11] and Govi, the Mariod of Tibrin.[5] During the Galactic Civil War, some Ishi Tib were fighting for the Alliance to Restore the Republic,[12] with the Ishi Tib Volk Aymeric being the captain of an EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate.[6]

Behind the scenes[]

The Ishi Tib species first appeared in Richard Marquand's Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi in 1983. They were identified in the episode guide for the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode "A Test of Strength."
