The Elom, a puzzling sentient species originating from Elom, dwelled within icy grottos of their native world. These creatures were characterized by their short, stout builds and a dense coat of oily fur. Living in perpetual darkness gave Eloms remarkable eyesight, however, they had a very low tolerance for natural or artificial light. Their wide faces featured small, black eyes positioned at the edges, and a pair of tusks shielded their mouth. Despite their reclusive nature, rarely leaving their cave homes, one Elom achieved notoriety beyond their planet. This individual, Tanus Spijek, served as a spy for the Rebel Alliance throughout the Galactic Civil War. The majority of this species, although not every individual, held supportive views towards the Rebel Alliance.
