Species in KotOR

[Grazza]

This has probably been done several times before, but it's something that has been bugging me recently. Do we know what species the following are?

 

-The rodent-type things from Nar Shaddaa in KotOR 2 like the Champ and Kaalah-Nah (I think that's his name - the guy on the entertainment promenade who gives you the password to the Pazaak Den)

 

-The Lunar Shadow crewmen (also on Nar Shaddaa), and similar guys in the Black Vulkar gang on Taris.

 

Could someone please tell me what species the above are, or point me in the direction of a thread that has the answer, or if it just isn't know what species they are.

There is a name for those rodent creatures I use to know.

[Krookie]

Rodian?

[Grazza]

Rodian?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

No, it's not them - that's one thing about them I definitely do know.

-The Lunar Shadow crewmen (also on Nar Shaddaa), and similar guys in the Black Vulkar gang on Taris.

Weequay

[atombom2005]

Squibs.

Weequay

I thought they weren't Weequay. The Lunar Shadow crewman said that their captain (who is Weequay) could enter the Jekk'Jekk Tarr, but they could not, because their species was intolerant to the gases

[Gabrielle]

They're weequay I don't know why they can't enter Jek jek saince they're aliens.

Yeah, the captain was a Wewquay. What about that little creature right outside the bar and pazzak den? I think that is a Chadra Fan, but I may be wrong. And the Whato looking creature is a Toydarian, and the Gand in the Jek Jek tarr are assassins and force users.

[DarkAngle]

Squibs.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

No, Squibs look like a cross between a dog and a doe.

[DarkAngle]

Ok got it! The Lunar Shadow's crew members are Nikito. Go to starwars.com and go into the data banks. Look under species.

[atombom2005]

Look up teek.

They are called ranats.

[Styur Voln]

Teek and Ranats-if you say so.

The lil rodent's not a Chadra Fan, and the crewmen are definitely not Weequay-no head-tails or similar face. If anything, Nikto's closest its got.

[Jedi_hunter101]

I think those little dudes are just plain creepy!

[Vashanti]

I remember the little bat-shorty guy type from Ep IV's cantina, also...

"Kabe

 

The squeaky little rodent who requests a tall blue beverage was known simply as "Bat" on set. Other notes use the nickname "Demon." Though Kabe has since been revealed to be a relatively harmless pickpocket, the original script for A New Hope has the small rodent creature as a cohort to Dr. Evazan and Ponda Baba as they accost Luke. If you watch the cantina scene closely, you can see that Evazan exchanges a few words with Kabe before the fight breaks out.

 

Production notes identify the alien's early proper name as Tink. It would be renamed Kabe and established as a female partner in petty crime to Muftak in Galaxy Guide 1: A New Hope."

 

Annnnnnnnnnnd, his species is listed as Species: Chadra-Fan in the official SW Databank:

[Vashanti]

Yah, his species is listed in the official SW Databank as:

 

Chadra-Fan

I knew it! I was right! I thought he was a Chadra-fan.

[Styur Voln]

Yer, once id posted that I was thinking they cud b Chadra-Fan, but his face just looked smaller than the ones on SWG (now dont you idiots start having a go at me for playing SWG-that HK poll was absolutely pointless)

Chadra-Fan are so cool!

But wat r the Lunar Shadow peeps? They're not Nikto or Weequay (no pikes on head or head-tail)

[Grazza]

Thanks for finding out what those things are - its been bugging me.

But I'm still annoyed that I can't find out what those other ones are - Styur's right, they're not Nikto (unless they have been very strangly done) or Weequay

Well IIRC they have something like a hood on so who's to say they have no head tails...

[Gabrielle]

Chadra-fan cute for a rodent.

[Vashanti]

Hmm, I was playing K1 last night, and fighting some of those Black Vulkar gang members who have the same alien model as the crewmembers in K2...

 

The Kotor Tool just lists their textures as "Alien" ... no help there. <_<

 

They seem to most resemble, imho, the "green Nikto" as described in the EU section of the SW site:

 

 

http://www.starwars.com/databank/species/nikto/?id=eu

 

"The Kadas'sa'Nikto, or "Green Nikto," have scaley hides, large obsidian eyes surrounded by a ridge of small horns, and visible noses. They are found in the milder forest and coastal regions of Kintan. "

 

But, there are several descriptions of several types, and none seem to match up perfectly...

[Styur Voln]

That image, I wud say, is them.

I remember seeing the guys in Jabba's Palace once Luke's killed the Rancor, but SW databank didnt have anything.
