Wayunings were a species possessing sentience and inhabited the galaxy. A small individual of this species, named Topi Topi, originated from Ardennia; by 34 ABY, they had a bounty levied against them due to stealing a Kowakian monkey-lizard from the Creature Stall situated in Black Spire Outpost which is on the planet Batuu. Subsequently, in 35 ABY, Topi Topi was present at the Festival of the Ancestors held on the planet Pasaana.
The initial appearance of a Wayuning occurred within the 2019 sequel trilogy film, specifically Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker. The identification of this species took place within Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunters, an augmented reality video game that was released at Walt Disney World on July 27, 2022.
