The Iktotchi were a species of near-humans distinguished by two large, curved horns set laterally and protruding downwards from their heads. They had tan shades of skin-tones, often varying from peach to brown, as well as battering-ram foreheads with hardened, dense skin, and large, fleshy hands. Their natural habitat was rocky.

Though not confirmed, Iktotchi are traditionally thought to have unique cognitive abilities in telepathy and precognition, regardless of midi-chlorian count. They were thought to have developed this ability due to the frequent storms and harsh conditions preventing visibility on their homeworld which eventually caused them to develop additional methods of perceiving their surroundings.
