The Toong were a sentient species of bipeds with a unique appearance that were native to the planet Tund. Their natural habitat was forest or jungle. They possessed long legs and arms, several skin colors, and a large head located where the torso would normally be in humanoids. Their faces featured a tiny upturned nose and orange eyes. Three antennae sprouted from the top of their skull.

The Toong were known as an extremely timid race who preferred the company of their own families. Due to their nature, Toong avoided confrontations with the wider galaxy. Several Toong were able overcome their shyness and become racers.
