Paaerduag

Species

Paaerduag is a peculiar and unique creature in the Star Wars universe. Native to the planet of Sernpidal, this creature is actually a symbiotic pair of individual organisms, working and living together as one. The Paaerduag appears to be a single auditory and olfactory sensitive organism, although it is composed of a "Listener" and a "Speaker".

The "Listener," possessing several ears, is the more significant or larger of the two and superficially resembles a shady veil with multiple ear-like structures. The actual creature is probably located deeper in the shroud and closer to the bottom, as a small creature is occasionally glimpsed at that position. Its primary role is to absorb auditory and olfactory input, receiving all forms of sound and smell but incapable of producing any.

The "Speaker," the smaller of the two organisms, is responsible for communicating vocally on behalf of the duo. While the Speaker is incapable of listening or smelling, it can speak several dialects. It interprets the information gathered by the Listener, and then translates it verbally.

The bonding process between the Listener and Speaker is still a mystery to the broader galactic Community. It is known, however, that they cannot survive without one another. Upon the death of one organism, the other will also perish, exhibiting a strong bond between the two, which extends beyond a purely symbiotic relationship.

While most common on their home planet of Sernpidal, several Paaerduag pairs could be found in the lower sections of Coruscant's underworld. They were often seen in the domains of nightclubs and bars, functioning as entertainers or bouncers. Their acute sense of hearing made them excellent at overseeing confrontations, and their coupled entity nature made them an appealing novelty and conversation piece.

The Paaerduag represents a fascinating and complex species structure in the Star Wars universe. Not only do they showcase a unique symbiotic relationship, but they also highlight the diversity and dynamism of alien life forms that Star Wars enthusiasts adore. They are part of the expansive biodiversity that adds color and intrigue to this beloved universe.
