Yuzzem

The Yuzzem were large, heavy, furred humanoids with long snouts and large black eyes. Their homeworld was the forested planet Ragna III. They were quite strong and temperamental. They fought fiercely, and their large size made them hard to subdue. Yuzzem also adhered to strict codes of honor and debt-fulfillment.
Because of their strength and intelligence, many scientists believed the Yuzzem to be distant relatives of the Wookiees.
