Tremendously tall, lanky, and hairy, Wookiees have sometimes been compared to walking carpets. This is unfair both to carpets and Wookiees; for Wookiees are nowhere near as soft as carpets, and carpets don't have the strength to tear people's arms off when they get mad. Unfortunately, due to an unusual vocal apparatus, Wookiees speak Basic with so strong an accent that most people think they are speaking a wholly different language.
 
Native to Kashyyyk, the Wookiees live in its immense forests, in the shadow of tall trees, or roam its tundras and grasslands in small bands.
 
Wookiees live in various population groupings, from solitary wanderers to small semi-nomadic bands to large towns in the forests of Kashyyyk. They respect their elders--to a fault, some say--and have a strong sense of personal honor. When they venture forth into the larger galaxy, they typically do so alone.
