Description:
For centuries, the Tchuukthai were considered little more than beasts. Their brutish appearance and vocabulary of grunts and
growls helped perpetuate that myth—a misperception the Tchuukthai were more than happy to see thrive. Over several centuries,
Tchuukthai were discovered more than once. Most times, explorers avoided contact with these seemingly dangerous creatures.
The few who couldn’t resist the urge to learn more about them were met with vicious snarls and displays of ferocity. Their true
intelligence remained a secret until a Jedi Master encountered them. The Jedi, whose name is lost in antiquity, explained much
about the galaxy to a Tchuukthai he’d befriended. The Tchuukthai’s interest was piqued, but he was wary of leaving his home and
fearful that his people would be exploited if their true nature were known. The Jedi gave his word that he would protect their
secret and offered to train the Tchuukthai in the ways of the Force.
This Tchuukthai later became Jedi Master Thon of Ambria. For thousands of years, Master Thon was the only Tchuukthai who had
ventured into the galaxy. Only the Jedi knew his true nature. Since that time, other Tchuukthai might have ventured beyond their
home system, perhaps even as pets or zoological exhibits.
Personality:
Tchuukthai are contem-plative, free thinking, secretive, and slow to anger. Some prefer to be left alone, while
others seem genuinely interested in meeting new species. Depending on their general demeanor, Tchuukthai are either annoyed or
amused by other species’ reactions to their appearance and size. They disdain conflict but fight fiercely when sufficiently
provoked.
Physical Description:
Tchuukthai are hulking, quadrupedal brutes with thick leathery skin, wide-set eyes, flaring nostrils, and sharp fangs. Bristling
fur covers their shoulders and backs, and armor plating protects their head, joints, and vital organs. An adult Tchuukthai stands
2 meters tall at the shoulder or 3 meters tall when standing upright on his or her hind legs. Tchuukthai who consort with other
species typically don clothing; others do not.
Home Planet:
Unknown. The identity and location of the Tchuukthai homeworld is a closely guarded secret.
