Craniopod
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Craniopods were a classification of sentient species. Biths were highly advanced craniopods. During the New Republic, Nien Nunb employed blind, insectoid craniopods to work in the Kessel spice mines. [source?]
[edit] Behind the scenes
Craniopod seems to be derived from a Greek word. If it was Greek it would mean 'skull-leg'. It is not known if the word was supposed to have a meaning or just 'resemble' a scientifically-looking Greek word.
