Hamadryas

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The Hamadryas were a near-human species^[1] with green skin and slightly ape-like faces.^[3] They seemed to not possess the need to blink, and the species lacked a true carotid artery.^[4]

The holoperformer Cebann Veekan was a notable member of this species.^[3] Senator Haydel Goravvus of Taris was a Human/Hamadryas hybrid.^[1]

[edit] Behind the scenes

The name of this species was created by Bob Vitas as part of the What's the Story campaign on StarWars.com.^[3]

The species was named after the Hamadryas baboon;^[5] in turn, the names derives from tree nymphs (a subcategory of dryads) from the Greek mythology.^[source?]

As revealed in his Star Wars Blog, Bob Vitas intended that the Hamadryas species to be from a planet called "Papio".^[5]
