Star Wars Alien Species - Snivvian
Cadomai Prime, also known as simply Cadomai, was a planet located in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories, situated along the Hydian Way that was the homeworld of the Snivvian species.
Snivvians withstood numerous hardships that they channeled into their impressive artistic works. After gaining the ability to travel between the stars, the Snivvians attracted the attention of the brutal Thalassian slavers. Snivvian culture was nearly destroyed before the Galactic Republic discovered the practice and stepped in to protect the Snivvians. This protection was reduced during later years, but combined Republic and Snivvian forces remained sufficient to hold off lesser threats to their planets.
Snivvians were among the most renowned artists and authors in the galaxy. Their homeworld of Cadomai Prime had extremely cold temperatures and long winters, forcing the Snivvians to live long periods of time in subterranean caverns. During those long days, Snivvians developed their artistic talents and sensibilities. They produced masterpieces in holography, painting, sculpture, music, and the written word, as well as a culturally unique form of art known as the transnovel. Although technology would eventually lessen the need for this form of hibernation, Snivvians still felt the need—biologically and culturally—to continue the tradition. Many Snivvians traveled throughout the galaxy in attempt to live the lives of the subjects of their future artistic works, even when it was dangerous.
Snivvians had a reputation for sociopathic tendencies similar to the Trandoshans, and they tried to control their genetics in order to curtail such tendencies. When twin males were born, one of them would invariably display traits of psychotic genius.
The short Snivvians have though skin, and sparse hair. They have a large, short snout, and large canines protruding from their lower jaw. They were sometimes called Snaggletooths due to their protruding jaws and short fangs. Their thick skin protects them from harsh winters, and also aids them in warmer climates.
