Hutts are long-lived gastropods who occupy a region known as Hutt Space. they are powerful, ruthless beings who continually seek to expand the boundaries of their dominion and the holdings of their individual clans, or kajidies. Their appetite for power is as insatiable as their appetite for food.

Hutts are often found at the center of business and criminal enterprises. legality (or lack thereof) does not affect will pursue a venture. All that matters is how much of a benefit-and a profit-one can get from it.

Like worms, Hutts are hermaphrodite, with both male and female reproductive organs. hutts bear their young one at a time and nourish them for a time in a brood pouch, their large lungs enable them to stay underwater for hours at a time. Xenobiologists often classify hutts as gastropods because of their sluglike appearance and movements.

A council of elders oversees Hutt Space. Comprised of hutts representing the oldest and most influential kajidies, they decide the fate of everyone who lives in hutt Space, and all other Hutts are answerable to them.

**Personality:** Most Hutts are vicious megalomaniacs who consider their kind to be beyond morality as perceived by lesser beings. They have a talent for manipulating other beings and enjoy accumulating and exerting power over others. A Hutt’s strongest loyalty is always to his kajidic, without which a Hutt is nothing but a lowly commoner.

**Physical Description:** A Hutt is an immense, slug like creature with a thick body, muscular tail, and small arms protruding from its upper body. A Hutt’s bulbous head features catlike eyes, wide nostrils, and a broad lipless mouth. An adult hutt averages 4 meters long and weighs 1,000 kilograms

**home world:** Hutts evolved on the temperate forest world of Varl. When a natural calamity left varl a blasted wasteland, the Hutts fled and adopted a new home world: nal Hutta, in the Y’Toub system on the border of the Mid Rim and Outer Rim. The Hutts have spent centuries polluting and ruining Nal Hutta’s ecosystem, as well as that of Nar Shaddwa, a heavily industrialized moon orbiting nal Hutta.

**Language:** Hutts speak and read Huttese and Basic. They consider their own language superior to basic and usually demand that lesser beings address then in their native tongue.

**Example names:** Borga, Churabba, Dalla, Durga, Gardulla, Grelb, Grondo, Issulla, jabba, Krova, Mardoc, Mika, Nullada, Popara, Shala, Yarella, Zonnos, Zordo.

**Age in years:** Child 1-70; young adult 71-90; adult 91-650; middle age 651-844; old 845-925; venerable 926+

**Adventurers:** very few Hutts manifest any desire to explore space or place themselves in harm’s way. They prefer to travel the stars on space yachts or command their mini empires from heavily fortified estates. Hutt crime lords are common, while exiled or disgspeciesd Hutts sometimes become scoundrels or trained as jedi, although Hutt Force-users are exceedingly rare.
