Description:
Twi'leks are tall, thin humanoids, indigenous to the Ryloth star system in the Outer Rim. Twin tentacular appendages protrude
from the back of their skulls, distinguishing them from the hundreds of alien species found in the known galaxy. These fat,
shapely, prehensile growths serve sensual and cognitive functions well suited to the Twi'leks murky environs.
Capable of learning and speaking most humanoid tongues, the Twi'leks' own language combines uttered sounds with subtle movements
of their tentacular "head tail," allowing Twi'leks to converse in almost total privacy, even in the presence of other alien
species. Few species gain more than surface impressions from the complicated and subtle appendage movements, and even the most
dedicated linguists have difficulty translating most idioms of Twi'leki, the Twi'lek language. More sophisticated protocol
droids, however, have modules that do allow quick interpretation.
Special Abilities:
Tentacles: Twi'leks can use their tentacles to communicate in secret with each other, even
if in a room full of individuals. The complex movement of the tentacles is, in a sense, a "secret" language that all Twi'leks
are fluent in.
