Gruvians were tall, green, mound-shaped beings who shuffled along without visible legs or feet. They had two mouths, eight eye stalks, and four thin arms with three-fingered hands.
Two well-known Gruvians were Benja and Olall Da'aapp, two tourists who were often seen at the Kuat Passenger Port during the Imperial era. Gruvians were known for their alcoholic beverage, Gruvian Tovash.
A Gruvian (possibly) pictured in "In the Beginning."
A Gruvian-like alien appears in "In the Beginning." This character has ten eyes, and only one visible mouth and pair of arms. This may either represent a variation in Gruvian appearance, or a different species.
