The Cyphari constituted a sentient species that was native to the planet of Cyphar. Accounts depict the Cyphari as bearing a resemblance to sizable stick insects, further characterized by snouts akin to those of a Rodian. Their bodies were adorned with orderly lines of short, red fur. A specific community of Cyphari identified as the Afe clan. Under the reign of the Galactic Empire, the Afe Clan was governed by a Cyphari figure known as Chief Joko.
