The Rishii are an aviary species within the Star Wars universe, specifically native to the planet Rishi. They are humanoid beings characterized by their bird-like features, which include feathered bodies and beaked faces. This avian species has the ability to fly due to their two wings and is also known for their beautifully colored plumage. Being natives of Rishi, a tropical planet located in the Rishi Maze, the Rishii are adept at living in the jungle environment and have even built their settlements high in trees.
In Star Wars lore, the Rishii species has established a rich and vibrant culture based around their music. They are renowned throughout the galaxy for their melodious songs, which they use for navigation, expressing emotions, or even for telling stories. The Rishii assign meaning to various songs, treating them as a form of language. Though not heavily featured in major Star Wars storylines, the Rishii people admirably reflect the expansive and diversified universe that is the foundation of Star Wars' popularity.
