Unidentified Dulok ( X ) One male member of King Gorneesh ' s tribe of Duloks on the Forest Moon of Endor was distinguished from his green - furred brethren by a yellow " X " that adorned his belly and chest , as well as by a white cloth that he often tied around his head . As a scout , warrior , and hunter for his tribe , the Dulok undertook several missions for Gorneesh in 3 ABY , a period of war with the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village , a settlement located not far from the Dulok Swamp . During these expeditions , the " X " - marked Dulok was often accompanied by counterparts with their own distinctive body decorations , such as one with a diamond shape and another with arrow shapes . Most frequently , however , he was paired with a Dulok who had an " O " on his torso . The " X " - marked Dulok was a typical member of his species : conscious of personal status , disdainful of perceived inferiors , and callous toward Ewoks and wildlife . However , he respected King Gorneesh — most of the time — and conducted several missions for the Dulok ruler . During one outing , the Dulok accompanied his " O " - marked partner and the Dulok shaman , Umwak , to gather ingredients for a magic potion , an endeavor that allowed them to spy on Ewoks and hatch a plot to steal their soap . On another occasion , the " X " - marked Dulok helped care for Nahkee , an infant Phlog entrusted to the Duloks by Morag , the Tulgah witch . Later , he and his " O " - emblazoned counterpart kidnapped the Ewok Latara to babysit Gorneesh ' s children . The Dulok accompanied his tribe aboard the Ewok battle wagon in an attack on the Ewoks ' Soul Tree s , and he participated in two winter hunting expeditions during which he was haunted by an entity known to the Duloks as the Red Ghost . Biography . One of many Duloks to inhabit the Dulok Swamp on the Forest Moon of Endor , a male differentiated himself from the other members of his tribe by emblazoning his belly and chest fur with a yellow " X " and wrapping a white cloth around his head . During a time in which the Duloks launched a succession of battles and schemes against the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village , a settlement nearby , the " X " - marked tribesman was charged with various tasks by his King , the eyepatch - wearing Dulok Gorneesh . Several such assignments took place in 3 ABY . On one mission during the summer of that year , the X - marked Dulok accompanied an " O " - marked counterpart and the Dulok shaman , Umwak , into the forest to obtain ingredients for one of the medicine man ' s magic potions . After being plagued by insect pests , the trio spotted several Ewoks swimming in a nearby river , including Wicket Wystri Warrick , Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka , Nippet , and Wiley . Umwak recognized the Ewoks using a variety of Ewok soap designed to keep bugs at bay . The " X " - marked Dulok and his fellow guard made a grab for the item , but their movement startled the creature upon which they unwittingly had been standing . The beast shook them into the water , prompting the trio to flee back to their home in the swamp . Nevertheless , their discovery compelled King Gorneesh to send Umwak and another Dulok into the Ewoks ' Bright Tree Village to steal the soap , beginning a series of raids and counter - raids that ceased only with the Ewoks substituting a third , bug - attracting soap for a bar that the Duloks stole . Adventures in babysitting . On another assignment , Gorneesh assigned the Dulok to help feed Nahkee , a baby Phlog whom the Tulgah witch Morag had entrusted to the Duloks ' care ; by keeping the child ' s whereabouts secret , she hoped to blame the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village for his disappearance and thus stir the Phlog elders to attack the settlement . The " X " - painted Dulok aided the Dulok Queen , Urgah , as she attempted to feed the massive infant : while Urgah cooked a stew known as glock for the child , the " X " - adorned Dulok carried the thick substance by the bowlful and spooned the semisolid into the Phlog ' s massive maw . Nevertheless , when Gorneesh asked the Duloks to change Nahkee ' s diaper , the " X " - painted underling fled the scene along with his peers . A group of Ewoks — Kintaka , Latara , Malani , Teebo , and Warrick — were later brought to the Dulok village to care for the Phlog , but Latara and Kintaka put the entire village to sleep with a song and fled with the infant . Gorneesh paired the " X " - marked Dulok with his " O " - marked counterpart , assigning them to guard duty outside his personal hut . Exasperated with his three unruly children , the Dulok King sent the pair to Bright Tree Village to kidnap an Ewok to babysit the cubs . On the outskirts of the Ewok settlement , the " X " - painted Dulok and his partner espied a young female Ewok caring for two toddlers — Latara and the wokling s Nippet and Wiley . The Duloks attempted to sneak up on her , but before the scouts could seize the Ewok caretaker , the ground began to shake as a herd of giant creatures called awor s appeared and frightened the pair into the hollow of a nearby tree . There they encountered a toothsome , green - eyed creature . The pair came under attack and fled . The next day , the " X " - and " O " - marked Duloks hid in the bushes surrounding Bright Tree Village and spied their Ewok quarry stowing away with a group of itinerate entertainer s known as the Travelling Jindas — whose thundering beasts of burden had frightened the Duloks away the previous day . The Dulok with the " X " on his fur suggested that the pair had merely to follow the caravan to capture their target . The pair did so , sticking to the treetops and eventually dropping onto the awor upon which was perched the tent of Bondo , the Jinda s ' leader , who was speaking with Latara . Again the Duloks suffered a setback : as Bondo ' s awor crossed a suspension bridge , the beast ' s rocking caused the Duloks to lose their balance and plummet into the river below . Nevertheless , the " X " - marked Dulok and his companion made another attempt on their quarry that night when the Jindas stopped to perform for a group of arboreal blasé tree goats . The Dulok with the bandage on his head revealed the plan : the duo would impersonate tree goats by wearing horns on their heads . So disguised , they climbed a tree and hung upside down like the animals they were emulating as they awaited the opportunity to strike . Yet again the plan was for naught : as Latara was raised into the rafters of the Jindas ' stage as part of a magic act with the Jinda performer Trebla , they crept along a branch to grab her . Nevertheless , the weight of the Dulok duo caused the branch to sag and brought them to Latara ' s notice . When a goat ate the vine that kept the Ewok aloft , she grabbed hold of the Duloks ' branch to keep from falling . The added weight brought the branch down gently to ground level — but then the Ewok let go . The branch became a catapult , launching the Duloks into an animal tent replete with its own ornery , purple - skinned beast . Still , Gorneesh ' s scouts did not give up . The next day , they overheard their would - be babysitter alone in the forest , crying from homesickness . They sneaked up behind her , seized her , and bound her with a vine , confident that they would be rewarded by their king . Back at the Dulok Swamp , the " X " - marked Dulok and his partner turned Latara over to Gorneesh and Urgah , who put her to work caring for their cubs . However , the Travelling Jindas soon arrived to perform for the Duloks . Their show allowed Latara ' s friends — the Ewoks Kintaka , Paploo , Teebo , and Warrick — to free their friend from Dulok captivity . Battle of the Soul Trees . Later that year , the Dulok with the " X " on his chest joined Gorneesh , Umwak , Urgah , the Dulok oracle Murgoob , and several Dulok warriors aboard the Ewok battle wagon , a siege engine that had been reconstructed by the Ewok Wicket W . Warrick but which the Duloks had stolen in a raid . The Duloks rolled the contraption toward the Ewoks ' sacred Soul Tree s in a bid to crush the trees and , along with them , the Ewoks ' will to live . The " X " - painted Dulok rode aboard on the wagon ' s main deck , which housed its battering ram and a caged prisoner , Warrick himself , who had been sleeping in the wagon when it was stolen . The wagon ' s first victims were a group of woklings on a picnic ; upon Warrick ' s urging , though , they fled to warn Bright Tree Village of the impending assault . Upon arrival at a copse of Soul Trees , Gorneesh ignored the Ewoks ' defenses and commanded the " X " - marked Dulok and his comrades to ram the holy trees . However , when the wokling Malani climbed aboard the war wagon with the aid of the bordok Baga , the " X " - painted Dulok noticed her attempt to free Warrick from his cage . The Dulok swung his club at the girl , but Warrick pushed her out of danger ; instead of connecting with Ewok flesh , the Dulok ' s attack bashed open the cage ' s lock and allowed Warrick to escape . The stumble knocked the " X " - painted Dulok off balance , and Malani pushed him into the cage and off the wagon . Warrick and Malani ended the assault completely when Warrick pulled the wagon ' s main support peg , collapsing the machine into a pile of wood . Haunted hunting . That winter , the Dulok with the " X " on his belly led his " O " - and diamond - marked counterparts , as well as a Dulok with a tufted chest , on a hunt for maramu , a species of hopping , bipedal animals that King Gorneesh valued as trophies for their horns . The quartet chased a maramu up a steep slope , and at the edge of the precipice the expedition leader snatched the maramu in a net . However , a savage howl sounded from the trees nearby , and the " O " - marked Dulok was lassoed and strung up from a tree , then dropped onto the other members of the party . The hunters fled in terror , unaware that their tormenter was a wild , female Ewok named Asha . During a later expedition , the " X " - marked Dulok joined his original hunting group , plus a Dulok with arrows painted on his chest ; King Gorneesh ; and the shaman , Umwak ; in the snowy forest . They captured several small creatures in cages and snagged a maramu with ropes ; the " X " - marked Dulok helped hold the enraged beast with rope . When a maramu calf approached , the " X " - marked Dulok kicked it away . The action enraged the ensnared maramu , the calf ' s mother , who yanked the rope and flung the Dulok into a nearby tree . After recovering from the pratfall , the Dulok watched as a being known to the Duloks as the Red Ghost — actually Asha , the same Ewok who had broken up the previous hunt — calmly strode amidst the Duloks and freed the captured animals . When Gorneesh ordered his underlings to attack , the " X " - marked Dulok and his compatriots captured her with their lassos . However , the Red Ghost grabbed the ropes and spun the three Duloks in circles , releasing them into the snowdrifts . Gorneesh ordered another attack , but the Ewok sidestepped the " X " - marked Dulok and his comrades , who collided with one another . The Ewok climbed a tree , grabbed a vine , and swung into the " X " - painted Dulok and his companions . Gorneesh himself fled at this turn of events , but Asha captured the full party with her bola s , earning an oath from Umwak that the Duloks would never hunt in the area again . The " X " - marked Dulok ran away with the others , mounted a hollow log , and slid down a snowy slope — off a cliff , and into a frigid lake . Years later , the Ewok Wicket W . Warrick looked back on his encounters with the " X " - marked Dulok on the battle wagon and in the forest with Asha as some of the fondest memories of his childhood . Personality and traits . The Dulok with the " X " on his chest filled duties as a guard , scout , warrior , and hunter for his tribe . He handled tasks such as guarding the hut of the Dulok King and Queen , and his adeptness at stealth and climbing earned him the task of sneaking up on and kidnapping the Ewok Latara . Nevertheless , his proficiency was tempered by clumsiness ; the Dulok was prone to colliding with his fellow warriors , stumbling into dangerous encounters with wildlife , and revealing his presence while trying to be sneaky . He was able to wield weapons with equal adroitness in either his right or left hands . Arms with which he was proficient included clubs , spears , and lassos . He was particularly proficient with the last of these , able to rope a wild maramu from a moderate distance . The " X " - marked Dulok shared the callous and mocking nature common among his species . While hunting , for instance , he nonchalantly kicked aside a maramu calf , telling it to return when its horns were bigger . During the same expedition , the Dulok joined his fellows in mocking the Ewok Asha after she was temporarily detained . Although he generally heeded the commands of his ruler , Gorneesh , — even guffawing with approval at the King ' s plans to raid the Ewoks — the Dulok guard ' s loyalties only went so far : he refused to accept his leader ' s call to change a baby Phlog ' s diaper , for instance , choosing instead to flee the scene . Reciprocally , Gorneesh took pleasure in his underling ' s misfortune , laughing , for example , when the " X " - marked Dulok was thrown through the air by a bucking maramu . The Dulok tribesman did not show the same deference to his people ' s shaman , Umwak . While helping the medicine man gather ingredients for a potion , the " X " - marked Dulok became annoyed at the hot sun and swarming insects , suggesting that Umwak ' s efforts would be better spent concocting bug repellant . The " X " - marked Dulok often worked alongside another Dulok warrior with an " O " on his chest . The relationship was not egalitarian , however ; the Dulok with the " X " asserted his superiority by berating , bossing , and bullying his counterpart . Such posturing led to quarrels between the partners , especially when the insults were unwarranted . For example , on one expedition the " X " - marked Dulok accused his fellow scout of causing the ground to quake , not realizing that the shaking was actually caused by an approaching caravan of awors . Physically , he was a typical member of his species ; he had a thin frame covered in green fur , gray skin showing through at the palms and soles , and a visage characterized by brown eyebrows , pink eyes , and jagged teeth . He stood approximately 1 . 35 meters tall , average for his species . However , the Dulok distinguished himself from his tribe mates by placing a yellow " X " on his torso . On many instances he also wore strips of white cloth around his head , although he sometimes went without . Behind the scenes . The Dulok character features in the opening credit sequence of the " " animated cartoon series , meaning that he technically appears in every episode of the show ' s , which began its television run on September 7 , 1985 , with " The Cries of the Trees . " However , " The Haunted Village , " an episode that first aired on September 14 , 1985 , marks the character ' s first appearance in the narrative proper . The episode was written by Paul Dini and directed by Raymond Jafelice . Dini and Jafelice placed the Dulok in another episode , " Rampage of the Phlogs , " which first aired on September 21 . Writer Bob Carrau then gave the character his most prominent role in an episode called " The Travelling Jindas , " directed by Jafelice , which originally aired on October 5 . The character later featured in two further Dini – Jafelice " Ewoks " episodes : " Wicket ' s Wagon " on November 11 and " Asha " on November 30 . These episodes constitute five of the eight that were patched together to form two direct - to - DVD feature films : " The Haunted Village " and " Tales from the Endor Woods " , both originally released in 2004 . The Dulok is indirectly referenced in book adaptations of the episodes and supplemental sources that mention the hunting parties and war bands in which he participated .
