Tweaked from 5eYou already know this as 5e Half-Orc — Like the half-orc, the Klatooinian is the bruiser/hired-muscle species built around Strength and toughness, so treat it as your half-orc with the Star Wars serial numbers filed off (no darkvision/relentless endurance, but the same combat-grunt identity). ✨

Biology and Appearance

Klatooinians are a humanoid species with canine features, having short muzzles over toothy overbites. They are also notable for their heavy brows and ridges along the tops of their heads.

Society and Culture

For centuries, klatooinians have been slaves to the hutts, whom they view as almost godlike, immortal beings. Although the hutts allow a council of elders to rule on Klatooine, all off-world affairs are wholly under hutt control. Under the hutts, the klatooinians serve as soldiers and guards. Even those klatooinians who do not serve the hutts are often employed as hired muscle by other masters.

Klatooinian society was known for a strong belief in tradition and the wisdom of the elders, although some younger klatooinians rebelled against this norm and sought out freedom from enslavement. Others attempted to gain their own fortunes as smugglers, pirates, bounty hunters, or raiders.
