The Twi'leks are a race of smooth-skinned humanoids whose skin tones vary from red to blue to maroon to indigo to pale green to neon yellow to violet ... and so on. They are naturally hairless, and are generally thought to be peculiarly attractive life-forms. Besides their skin pigmentation and hairlessness, they are distinguished from humans by their teeth (small, pointy, triangular), their claws, and their head-tails, or 'lekku,' which not only function as extra limbs but are also centers of neural activity. It is said that Twi'leks deprived of their head-tails become listless, lose all sense of balance, and cease to take an interest in those around them.
Twi'leks originated on Ryloth, and most still consider that desert world their home. 
Their society is tribal--but few Twi'leks pay terribly close attention to tribe nowadays. They prefer to look out for themselves, and can quote legal and ethical precedents which suggest that their so-called selfishness is not only justified but mandatory.
