Kowakian monkey-lizard

The Kowakian monkey-lizard is a species hailed from the planet Kowak, a world located in the Outer Rim Territories, within the galaxy's Kowakian Space. These creatures are small, reptilian primates known for their sense of humor and their laughter. Although they are often kept as pets, they're also considered a delicacy on some planets. The most well-known Kowakian monkey-lizard is Salacious B. Crumb, who was Jabba the Hutt's court jester in the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi movie.

The lifespan of a Kowakian monkey-lizard is debated among biologists, but some evidence suggests that they can live for several decades. They are resistant to the toxic emissions of their home world's industrial wastelands, indicating a high level of adaptability and resilience. Despite their often annoying and mischievous behavior, Kowakian monkey-lizards are known to show high intelligence and some were even deemed Force-sensitive, an attribute allowing them to be trained in the arts of The Force. These creatures have a distinct chortle which is unmistakable, and often heard before the creature is seen.
