A Wookiee of the male gender, named Arrworr, existed during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Following the Battle of Yavin, a group of Trandoshan slavers belonging to the Blackscale Clan, and led by the slavemaster Trussk, captured Arrworr. The Wookiee was transported to a building in the city of Keren on the planet Naboo, which was owned by the Trandoshans. He was subjected to torture for several weeks there. In 1 ABY, a group of spacefaring adventurers attacked the building. These adventurers were investigating the disappearance of a pilot by the name of Cal Handro, who the Blackscale Clan wanted dead. The spacer killed most of the slavers, including the slavemaster Trussk, and ultimately freed the Wookiee. After escaping the house, Arrworr told the spacers that the slavemaster had tracked the missing pilot because the pilot had smuggled slaves for a rival Trandoshan clan, but the pilot had never been seen there.
Within the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, Arrworr was a non-player character. This game was a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game that was created by Sony Online Entertainment and released by LucasArts. The game's servers were shut down on December 15, 2011. Arrworr was introduced into the game as part of the third chapter of the "Secrets of the Syren" quest line, which was released with "Publish 19," on June 29, 2005. The "Secrets of the Syren" story arc was removed from the game with "Chapter 1," published on June 8, 2006, due to the major changes planed for Rori with the introduction of the Battle of Restuss.
