Gamorrean

Gamorreans (derogatorily known as pig-lizards) were a sentient species of green-skinned pig-like humanoids that hailed from the Outer Rim planet of Gamorr. A number of Gamorrean guards were employed by the crime lord Jabba the Hutt throughout his career.

About
The Gamorreans were a race of large, green-skinned, porcine humanoids native to the planet Gamorr, and was noted for their violent and bloody history. The female Gamorreans handled all of the necessary productive work while the males waged annual wars during the combat season. It was for this reason that the Gamorrean society was matriarchal, despite the fact that nearly twenty males were born for every female.

A species of tall, strong bipeds, the Gamorreans had porcine traits, like an upturned, large-nostriled cartilaginous snout, jowls, and upturned tusks. Their hulking bodies were covered in green or rarely pink, thick and hairless skin. They had five digits on every extremity, each sporting a hard nail. The digits of their hands included an opposable thumb, which allowed the Gamorreans to easily grasp and handle objects. The species had two sexes: the males, referred to as boars, and the females, called sows.

Gamorrean genealogy was the science of a select group of females who memorized songs and stories that contained the complex history of each family. The six-breasted females often took a senior as well as a junior husband, both of whom had to prove themselves on the battlefield before being allowed to choose a mate. The males were broken up into four castes: the warlord (the most powerful male of his clan, usually married to the matriarch), the clan boar (any other married male that make up the clan's military leaders), the tuskers (unmarried males who have hired into a clan as warriors), and the veterans (old, retired males who have more often than not been injured and can no longer fight).

Despite their violent natures, Gamorreans only used primitive weapons during the combat season, saving their more advanced weapons for off-planet use. Gamorreans also have a deep-seated hatred of droids.

The normal body temperature of an average Gamorrean, who stood just under two meters in height, was 105 degrees.
