Weequay were a sentient species native to the desert world of Sriluur. Weequays were common throughout the galaxy. Evolving under merciless conditions, their tough, leathery skin helped them endure the harsh environment of their homeworld as well as providing natural resistance to blaster fire. This made Weequays ideal bodyguards and bounty hunters. Some Weequay grew horns on their lower jaw, while others had bumpy extensions of their skin. Weequays often kept their hair long. Weequays could also be Force-sensitive.
