Neepers Panpick's species

The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

This species was a sentient species that existed in the galaxy.^[4] Reek^[3] and Neepers Panpick were both members of this species.^[1]

Biology and appearance[]

This sentient species^[4] was distinguished by their short stature, being roughly "Ewok-sized."^[2] They had rodent-like features,^[1] capable of moving both quadrupedally^[2] and bipedally. Their skin could be either tan-pink^[1] or gray in coloration, with similarly colored hair sprouting from either side snout-like mouth.^[2] Additionally, they possessed large, glassy black eyes that bulged out of their skulls, as well as sizeable ears.^[1] The species had the capacity to speak Galactic Basic Standard.^[4]

Species in the galaxy[]

Reek-THR2023-7 — Reek, assistant to Baron Boolan of the Nihil

During the High Republic Era, a member of this species known as Reek was found among the ranks of the Nihil pirates, specifically within the service of the mad scientist Baron Boolan^[2] as of 229 BBY.^[3] A couple centuries later, another member of this species by the name of Neepers Panpick worked as a private detective on the planet Cantonica.^[4] During the First Order-Resistance War in 34 ABY, he was present at the Canto Casino in Canto Bight when the Resistance agents Finn and Rose Tico arrived searching for the Master Codebreaker.^[1]

Behind the scenes[]

Concept art of Neepers Panpick was titled King 56.

The species made their onscreen debut in the 2017 film Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, directed by Rian Johnson,^[1] though they were first mentioned in "Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing," a short story from the Canto Bight novella collection, written by Rae Carson, which released shortly prior to the film.^[4] They were originally designed by creature concept designer and sculptor Ivan Manzella^[5] and titled "King 56."^[6] Concept art created by MinJi Yoon for Reek, another member of this species, appeared in the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia event, first surfacing on Starwars.com in late 2023,^[2] with the character finally appearing in The High Republic (2023) 7 around a half a year later.^[3]
