This sentient species was distinguished by their short stature, being roughly "Ewok-sized." They had rodent-like features, capable of moving both quadrupedally and bipedally. Their skin could be either tan-pink or gray in coloration, with similarly colored hair sprouting from either side snout-like mouth. Additionally, they possessed large, glassy black eyes that bulged out of their skulls, as well as sizeable ears. The species had the capacity to speak Galactic Basic Standard.
Reek, assistant to Baron Boolan of the Nihil
During the High Republic Era, a member of this species known as Reek was found among the ranks of the Nihil pirates, specifically within the service of the mad scientist Baron Boolan as of 229 BBY. A couple centuries later, another member of this species by the name of Neepers Panpick worked as a private detective on the planet Cantonica. During the First Order-Resistance War in 34 ABY, he was present at the Canto Casino in Canto Bight when the Resistance agents Finn and Rose Tico arrived searching for the Master Codebreaker.
Concept art of Neepers Panpick was titled King 56.
The species made their onscreen debut in the 2017 film , directed by Rian Johnson, though they were first mentioned in "Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing," a short story from the Canto Bight novella collection, written by Rae Carson, which released shortly prior to the film. They were originally designed by creature concept designer and sculptor Ivan Manzella and titled "King 56." Concept art created by MinJi Yoon for Reek, another member of this species, appeared in the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia event, first surfacing on Starwars.com in late 2023, with the character finally appearing in The High Republic (2023) 7 around a half a year later.
