Gorneesh ' s tribe Gorneesh ' s tribe was a large group of Duloks from the Dulok Swamp on the Forest Moon of Endor . Their village was located close to the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village , and the two groups had a long history of animosity . Over several encounters , the Duloks attacked the Ewoks ' Soul Tree s , attempted to cut down the Tree of Light , and kidnapped young Ewoks to row a battleship . In other situations , the Duloks found themselves pawns in the schemes of other enemies of the Bright Tree Ewoks , such as Morag and the Stranger . Gorneesh ' s Duloks maintained an uneasy alliance with Morag due to their mutual hatred of the Ewoks . Prominent members of the tribe included King Gorneesh , his wife , Urgah , and his son , Boogutt . The king was advised by his medicine man , Umwak , and the oracle Murgoob . He employed several bodyguards , including Duloks that painted symbols on their bellies , such as an X , an O , and a diamond . Members . Gorneesh ' s tribe was a relatively large band of Duloks who lived in the Dulok Swamp near Happy Grove . The members of the tribe all displayed similar markings : green body fur , brown brows , gray masks around the eyes , and gray lips . By 3 ABY , the tribe had come under the rule of King Gorneesh , a hulking , one - eyed Dulok who died his feet red and carried a large club . The Dulok frequently led raiding parties against the Ewoks and hatched schemes against them to steal their harvest , kidnap their woklings , and take over their village . Gorneesh was joined in these endeavors by his tribemates , including his wife , Queen Urgah , and son , Prince Boogutt . Gorneesh was advised by the shaman Umwak , who also acted as a liaison with Morag and worked with his nephew . The oracle Murgoob was an elder member of the tribe who occasionally offered ideas to help defeat the Ewoks . The king frequently surrounded himself with bodyguards , including Duloks marked by an X , O , and a diamond on their fur . History . The tribe had a long history of conflict with the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village . Three generations before 3 ABY , the tribes were already embroiled in the Ewok – Dulok War . During one important battle , Duloks from the tribe marched on the Ewoks ' Soul Tree s to cut them down . Their plan was stymied , however , when the Ewok Erpham Warrick counterattacked in his Ewok battle wagon . The Duloks retreated to their swamps . By 3 ABY , Duloks from the tribe often found themselves compelled to do the bidding of other , more powerful enemies of the Ewoks . In one instance , Morag ordered the tribe to keep watch over the Phlog infant Nahkee , whom she had kidnapped from his family . When a band of young Ewoks freed the child , the enraged Phlog parents rampaged through the Dulok Swamp . In another encounter , an otherworldly being known as the Stranger compelled the Duloks to raid Bright Tree Village and create a distraction to cover him stealing the Ewoks ' Sunstar . That same year , Gorneesh ' s tribe stole shadowroot soap from the Ewoks , invaded their village , helped destroy the sun crystal , and kidnapped young Ewoks to care for the Dulok pups ' and clean the Dulok Swamp . Gorneesh ' s tribe learned that the Ewoks ' sacred Tree of Light had weakened and needed to be renewed . He rushed with a band of his warriors to cut it down before the Ewoks could reach it . The two sides clashed at the site , and the Ewoks Wicket Wystri Warrick and Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka turned the tide against Gorneesh ' s forces , who were forced to retreat . Eventually , the tribe learned that the Wicket W . Warrick was rebuilding his great - grandfather ' s battle wagon . On the advice of the Dulok oracle , Murgoob , Gorneesh ordered the battle wagon stolen so that it might be turned against the Ewoks ' Soul Trees . Warrick and another Ewok , Malani , foiled the plot when they caused the battle wagon to collapse . Gorneesh and his warriors later stole a sacred fish carving from their Bright Tree rivals and used it on a Dulok battleship . Nevertheless , some Ewok slaves used to row the vessel escaped and managed to recover the item for the Ewoks . The Dulok king finally offered to end the war later in 3 ABY , proposing a peace treaty . This was but a scheme , however , for as soon as the Ewoks under Chief Chirpa reached the site of the peace summit , Gorneesh ordered his warriors to cut the bridge the Ewoks were crossing . Gorneesh ' s tribe was later enslaved by the Galactic Empire , with their village destroyed . Only one member of the tribe , Agluk , managed to escape captivity , costing him his right arm in the process . His escape alerted the Ewoks to the Imperial presence on the moon . Behind the scenes . King Gorneesh and his tribe first appeared in the " " animated series , which began airing in 1985 . They feature in 8 of the 13 episodes of the first season and 3 of the 35 of the second . Critics and " Star Wars " authors have singled out some of these episodes as examples of the series at its best . Jon Bradley Snyder , for instance , has identified " Asha " as a first - season highlight , " Wicket ' s Wagon " as well animated , and " Rampage of the Phlogs " as one of the more humorous episodes thanks to the scene in which King Gorneesh has to change the diaper of a baby Phlog . Dan Wallace and Amy Pronovost have named the episodes " The Tree of Light , " " Wicket ' s Wagon , " and " Asha " as those that best show the villainy of Gorneesh and his tribemates . A variety of tie - in items were released during the run of " Star Wars : Ewoks , " including Dulok action figures from Kenner and storybook adaptations . Three Dulok - themed books were released : " " from Random House in 1986 ( based on the episode " Asha " ) , and " The Haunted Village " and " Wicket ' s Wagon " from Dragon Picture Books in 1987 , based on the episodes of the same name . While " The Red Ghost " includes all - new artwork , the Dragon volumes use images taken directly from the cartoons . The Dragon volumes misspell the species ' name " Dulock " . In 1986 , Dulok characters took to the ice as part of " The Ewoks and the Magic Sunberries . " Lucasfilm repackaged several episodes of the animated series as the feature - length films " The Haunted Village " and " Tales from the Endor Woods " in 2004 . Works that mention Duloks published in the years since the series ' cancellation , such as " A Guide to the Star Wars Universe , " the " Star Wars Encyclopedia , " and the various " , " simply summarize events from the television series .
