Machook is a legendary figure among the Ewok species, known for possessing a magic axe named Lumat. Ewok lore tells of Machook as a heroic figure who constructed the initial tree village, and was persuaded by the spirit Teebo to protect the forests. As a result of this legend, Ewoks began the practice of naming their male offspring in his honor. An Ewok who lived in Bright Tree Village around the time of the Battle of Endor carried the name of this legend.
The character of Machook was referenced in the Galactic Campaign Guide, a 2003 sourcebook for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game by Wizards of the Coast. The book was authored by Peter Schweighofer and J.D. Wiker.
