Worrite Worrites were a sentient species of crustacean – insectoid hybrids from a planet unknown to the galaxy at large . As tall as Wookiees , their anatomy was dominated by a knobby , protective carapace . Members of the species had four arms , two of which served as small manipulators , and two ending in huge claws . A Worrite ' s face consisted of a mass of sensory feelers and four eyes on long stalks that were able to swivel in all directions . The Worrite Mazumoda , nicknamed " the big bug , " left his homeworld and served as a thug - for - hire in the underworld of Coruscant during the Imperial Period . His frightening appearance and giant pincers served as assets in his line of work . Biology and appearance . Worrites were a hybrid species with both insectoid and crustacean features present in roughly equal proportion . Their bodies were protected by a rugged exoskeleton that was divided into segments . In one member of the species , the carapace was colored a dark , dull red . They had two small arms that they held close to the body and used for fine manipulation . Another two arms harbored gigantic clawed pincers . Closed , these claws were deadly bludgeoning weapons ; however , when used as pincers , they could easily sever the limbs of most humanoid species . Worrites were as tall as Wookiees . The overall effect was enough to frighten many non - Worrites . The Worrite visage was primarily composed of numerous feelers with which the species sensed the outside world . Four stalks rose from the head , each supporting an eye . These eyestalks were flexible and allowed the species a wide field of vision . Worrites had two sexes : male and female . Society and culture . Worrites were capable of learning and speaking a wide variety of alien languages . The Worrite Mazumoda , for example , was a fluent speaker of Basic , Huttese , Mugaar , and Rodese . The species ' pincer - like claws and large size made them frightening warriors who were able to both strike with blunt trauma and clip off limbs . History . The Worrites hailed from a planet unknown to the rest of the galaxy . At some point before 3 ABY , the Worrite Mazumoda made it off his homeworld and to the galactic capital Coruscant . There , he found a niche as a freelance bruiser , taking jobs for various underworld figures , who dubbed him " the big bug . " The crime lords Beuga Odell and Quetemoor the Sub - Elder , for example , retained his services as a bodyguard and enforcer . Meanwhile , the bookmaker Tuchap employed him to intimidate clients late with their payments . His fearsome appearance and sound job performance earned Mazumoda offers of permanent positions with both Odell and Quetemoor , but he preferred to stay unattached . Behind the scenes . The Worrite species was featured in " Coruscant and the Core Worlds " , a reference book published in 2003 . The book , a supplement for Wizards of the Coast ' s " Star Wars Roleplaying Game " , features the character Mazumoda in its chapter devoted to Coruscant , which was written by Daniel Wallace . However , the book provides no statistics for the Worrites in general , so the species is not available for players to use for their own characters .
