A humanoid species known as Rasta Aliens possessed several distinctive features: spinal protrusions on their lower legs, an elongated, undulating feature near their necks, and small, blunt protuberances on their heads. Recognized as perilous hunters, these beings had the ability to launch lethal, three-pronged volleys of spikes from their abdominal region. Their habitat was primarily the arid landscapes of the planet Tatooine, where they typically dwelled within cave systems, notably including the Tusken Cave that also housed numerous Tusken Raiders.
Despite remaining unnamed in the Star Wars video game released in 1991 and its accompanying manual, these extraterrestrials received identification in the Star Wars Hint Book. Luke Skywalker confronts them within various cave settings throughout the Tatooine stages of the game.
A piece within the publication Nintendo Power designated them as "Sand People," seemingly distinguishing them from Tusken Raiders. Furthermore, this piece asserts that they "release energy from their bodies," contrasting with the spike-based weaponry described in the Star Wars Hint Book.
