Mudgub The Mudgubs were a species of sentient bipeds who lived on the Forest Moon of Endor . They had large eyes and long , blunt snouts , as well as hairy , ear - like projections on the sides of the head . Rather than standing straight up like humanoid species , Mudgubs squatted with their legs splayed . The Mudgubs of Endor were organized as a tribe and recognized at least some of their members as royalty . In 3 ABY , the Mudgub princess was invited to the grotto home of a pompous species known as the Gorph s . There , she had an audience with Queen Slugga for consideration as a bride to Prince Vork . Eventually , however , the queen rejected the princess . Biology and appearance . The Mudgubs were a species of sentient , gray - skinned bipeds who stood about 0 . 33 meters tall . They had long , thin legs that , when at rest , splayed out to either side and folded at the knees so as to bring the belly close to the ground . Their feet were narrow and long , with three pointed toes . Their arms , also thin , were short in comparison to the rest of the body and terminated in hands with three fingers each . A long , wispy tail grew from the Mudgub posterior and ended in a barbed point . The Mudgub head was large in relation to the body and was wider than it was tall . A bulbous snout was the dominant feature ; this was divided by a wide mouth with plastic lips that could show emotion . Whether naturally or via make - up , some Mudgubs had large , red lips . Above the snout sat two bulbous , white eyes with long eyelashes . Toward the back of the head were two projections that resembled ears with dark - colored fuzz fringing them . Some Mudgubs wore jewelry , such as earrings and necklaces . Society and culture . Mudgubs lived in tribes , and at least one member of the species was recognized as a princess ; her status was indicated by a gold - colored crown . Some Mudgubs had high - pitched voices . The Mudgubs of the moon Endor had relations with other groups , including the Gorph s led by Queen Slugga . History . In 3 ABY , the princess of the Mudgub tribe of Endor was chosen for an audience with Queen Slugga of the Gorphs as a potential bride for her son , Prince Vork . The princess was brought to an antechamber in the Gorphs ' grotto , where she awaited her summons along with the princess of the Titterbug s . The Mudgub princess was escorted before the queen first . Although Vork seemed to approve of her , Queen Slugga felt her too common and ordered her thrown into a large hole in the grotto floor known as " the pit . " The Mudgub princess fell through with a shriek . Behind the scenes . Writer Paul Dini created the Mudgubs for " Princess Latara , " an episode of the Nelvana " " animated series that first aired on September 20 , 1986 . The story features only one Mudgub character , who has no lines . Her scream is provided by an uncredited voice artist . The ultimate origins of the Mudgubs are unclear . According to " Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds , " only Ewoks and Yuzzums are native to the Forest Moon of Endor , and " Castaways of Endor " includes only Duloks in addition to these two species . This latter source also implies that Endor ' s other sentient inhabitants hail from other worlds . " Endor and the Moddell Sector " explains that offworlders came to Endor for centuries as survivors of crash landings brought about by Endor ' s massive gravity shadow and its cloak of space debris . Whether the Mudgubs were in fact one of these " castaway " species is not mentioned in available sources .
