The Behebothans resided on the planet named Beheboth.

Initially, Bothan colonists were the first Behebothans. Over time, Human settlers, along with members of other species, took their place.
Numerous Humans originating from Beheboth showed superficial differences compared to the standard, including purple skin, additional eyebrows, or absent fingers. Apart from these traits, Behebothan inhabitants closely resembled typical Humans. Anthropologists proposed that the planet's alkaline duststorms and salt content, along with a limited gene pool, resulted in these slight variations.
