Ithorian

Ithorians were a species of the galaxy living in the Mother Jungle of Ithor.

Biology and appearance
The Ithorians were hypothesized to share a common ancestor with the Bivall and Ottegan species. Ithorians were tall beings with tough, brown skin that some marked with tattoos. They had large, wide-set eyestalks on either side of a thin hammerhead extending upwards from the thick trunk of their neck. Their bodies were humped with long arms and fingers.

Society and culture
Ithorians lived in the Mother Jungle of Ithor, home to poisonous molsumes. Ithorians endeavored to separate male and female reeks into individual herds, in an effort to isolate their mating periods. They had a pacifist religion that some believed was a false heresy.

History
Dok-Ondar was an Ithorian antiques dealer working out of his Den of Antiquities on Batuu. He made use of the Crimson Dawn comfort girl Ottille on visits to Dryden Vos's yacht.

The Ithorian Trelo worked as Unkar Plutt's head scavenger on Jakku, and served as a surrogate father figure to Rey alongside his long-time companion Mashra. The two mentored Rey, and Trelo told her stories about Leia Organa and the fashions of Naboo and Fre'drix of Bespin to help pass the time. He was killed in the Starship Graveyard by Jak Sazz of the Zendiat Collective, and Mashra was eventually buried next to him in the paupers' graveyard outside Niima Outpost.

While exploring the Temple of the Ancients on Rakata Prime, the Dowutin hunter Grummgar passed the statue of a being that looked as if it could have been the often-hypothesized common ancestor of the Ithorian, Bivall, and Ottegan species.

The Ottegan Praster Ommlen operated as an arms dealer, but converted to a pacifist Ithorian religion. Bazine Netal saw this as a tragic story of a gunrunner losing his true faith for a false heresy.
