Chadra - Fan / Legends Chadra - Fan ( ) were short , rodent - like humanoids , usually no more than one meter tall , with bat - like faces . They hailed from the watery planet Chad . Biology and appearance . Chadra - Fan had seven different senses — sight , touch , taste , sound , smell , infrared sight , and chemoreceptive smell — all of which were much more acute than Human senses . . They were usually no more than a meter tall , some depicted with plantigrade two - toed feet , while others seemed to have four - toed feet . The metabolism of Chadra - Fan was amazingly fast , allowing them to work almost constantly . They only slept in two hour naps during the day . Because of their metabolism , the average Chadra - Fan matured by age fifteen and rarely lived more than forty years . Chadra - Fan had two hearts , but would die in three days if one of the hearts failed . Chadra - Fan were covered from head to foot in fur . Their species evolved from small , arboreal rodents . The two different sexes of Chadra - Fan were indistinguishable to other species , though the Chadra - Fan could readily tell the difference using their powerful sense of smell . If a male and a female Chadra - Fan were interested in one another , they released special pheromones that relayed their feelings . Chadra - Fan also had involuntary pheromones that conveyed information about their family line and created an aura of attractiveness . Other voluntary pheromones often conveyed a Chadra - Fan ' s state of emotion - anger , fear , or joy . Chadra - Fan even created more complex messages using their pheromones , though the pheromones when mixed sometimes caused confusion . They were unique in the fact that they had clear blood . The race were small but quick witted creatures that resembled rodents . Their combination of infrared sight , hypersensitive sense of smell as well as keen hearing made them physically and mentally perceptive beings . Society and culture . Chadra - Fan culture was greatly affected by the tendency of hurricanes and tsunamis to wash away their bayou homes ( as happened in 10 BBY , when a " Death - Wave " wiped out much of their civilization ) . As a result Chadra - Fan slept during the midday in their temporary dwelling that hung from cyperill tree s . They all had an instinctive fear of drowning in water . They regarded very few things as permanent , seeking only to enjoy themselves in the moment . Many Chadra - Fan that left their homeworld went to arid planets , in order to escape any chance of drowning . Chadra - Fan loved to tinker with mechanical devices , often disassembling and reassembling them into something completely different . Chadra - Fan living in the greater galaxy sometimes worked in industrial research , by creating unique devices which engineers of other species with more conventional talents attempted to duplicate . Their inventions were even considered collectible and pieces of art . Chadra - Fan constructed many of their creations individually , though they were capable of mass - production . The Chadra - Fan language relied on the ability of each Chadra - Fan to recognize differences in pitch . If a Chadra - Fan was tone deaf , he or she was unable to speak coherently . Their language also depended on the ability of each to understand pheromone messages . It was uncontroversial for Chadra - Fan to move about naked , at least at the during the Galactic Civil War . At the time , many Chadra - Fan wore no clothes at all in public without drawing the attention of bystanders or disturbing them . In contrast , clothed Chadra - Fan were just as common throughout history , with many of them wearing more - or - less elaborate robes . Society . The society of Chadra - Fan is divided into a clan structure in which every member was responsible for parenting the clan ' s children and a fact of life was that every household was open at any time . Leadership within the clan was a temporary role that was passed from one individual to another as the situation called for a particular expertise . Children were the centerpiece of a Chadra - Fan community , and only left when wed , however the new Chadra - Fan couple remained with the smaller clan so it was possible that a Chadra - Fan never left his or her home . Chadra - Fan , if left alone , suffered from strong depression that would kill them in a matter of weeks . Thus , Chadra - Fan were not very picky when it came to friends and preferred complete strangers to loneliness . Many Chadra - Fan were taken offworld as slaves , but they took this positively by thinking of it as a big adventure . They were also a jovial race , who almost always got on well with others . Only the most evil acts against them would make them think otherwise . Chadra - Fan were generally excellent team members and were extremely forgiving or so ignorant that they forgot any failings within a group . Chadra - Fan , thus , could be found with various criminals because they were so unobservant or accommodating . A deity called the Big Green Fish figured in Chadra - Fan religion .
