"I know Toydarians. Nothing goes on under their watch without them knowing."
―Anakin Skywalker[src]

Toydarians were a sentient, winged species from the planet Toydaria. In addition to their ability to fly, Toydarians were physically defined by their long snouts and webbed feet, and could resist mental manipulation from the Force. During the Clone Wars, the Toydarians were ruled by King Katuunko. The Toydarians were, for a time, neutral during the Clone Wars, before eventually siding with the Galactic Republic.

Biology[]

"I'm a Toydarian! Mind tricks don't work on me, only money."
―Watto, to Qui-Gon Jinn[src]

A humanoid species, Toydarians were fly-like, possessing wings, a snout, and webbed feet.[2] Their wings allowed them to hover above the mud flats of their homeworld.[6] They had blue[3] and green skin tones,[4] and had facial tusks beneath their trunk-like snouts. Toydarians were known to be strong-willed and resistant to mental manipulation with the Force.[3][2]

Society and culture[]

"Such despicable beings, the Toydarians."
―Roman Herbane[src]

Able to hover over the mud flats of Toydaria,[6] Toydarians made nests in the muck lake atmosphere of their homeworld,[7] but built their palaces on mountain peaks.[6] Toydarians gathered in clans, and Toydarian clan bells signified members of noble families.[7] The species moved in flocks.[8] During the era of the Clone Wars, the Toydarians were governed by a monarchy.[5]

History[]

Hailing from their homeworld of Toydaria,[2] the Toydarians were led by a monarchy during the last decades of the Galactic Republic, and were ruled by King Katuunko as of the Clone Wars.[4]

Toydarians in the galaxy[]

The Toydarian Watto operated as a junk dealer on Tatooine during the lead-up to the war, and owned slaves including Shmi Skywalker and her son Anakin.[3]

During the Imperial Era, Walisi was a Toydarian merchant who ran Walisi's Elegant and Exotic Artifacts with his protocol droid RT-3PO. However, Walisi went on to be kidnapped by Wrecker, who himself was a Toydarian. Unlike Walisi, Wrecker was a mercenary leader, having been hired by the surviving Nightsister Jerserra to kidnap Walisi and steal the Tragic Hope, an artifact that contained the Nardithi Nightsisters' Nardithi Cluster, before the merchant could sell it.[9]

Zabaka, a female Toydarian, owned a toyshop in Black Spire Outpost, Batuu.[10]
