"You can't take Her Royal Highness there! The Hutts are gangsters..."
―Panaka[src]

Hutts were a large slug-like sentient species who were native to the planet Nal Hutta. They were well known as galactic gangsters whose Grand Hutt Council controlled the Hutt Clan crime syndicate. One famous Hutt was the crime lord Jabba, who ruled a massive criminal empire from his palace on Tatooine.

Biology and appearanceEdit

Hutts were a massive slug-like species who had large mouths and stubby arms. They were tough and muscular with thick[11] leathery skin,[8] which was wrinkled and slimy.[11] Hutts often had watery eyes and slack facial expressions.[8] Despite their legendary adult size, Hutts start out as tiny Huttlets less than half a meter in height.[6]

Their homeworld of Nal Hutta had a hot atmosphere and was frequently streaked by greasy rains, creating a fetid sauna in which Hutts were most comfortable.[4] Hutts could live for centuries – Jabba was 604 when he was killed – and could grow to enormous sizes.[6][12]

Some Hutts suffered from a genetic defect that caused their skin to be bereft of pigment and prone to cracking.[2]

CultureEdit

The Hutts were crime lords who lived opulent lives overseeing criminal underworld activities like spice smuggling, slavery, gambling and bounty hunting in Hutt Space. They were typically obese, with the muscular Nar Shaddaa kingpin Grakkus being an exception who proved the rule.[7]

The Hutt Clan was divided into families known as kajidics: Jabba's family was the Desilijic kajidic, whose sigil was tattooed on his arm.[6]

Classical architectural Hutt style could be seen on the planet Mataou. It was characterized by terraced buildings with sloping gates, and white and red colors.[13][10]

Hutts bandaged and buried their dead.[12] The Hutts believed that at least one of their own, Boonta Hestilic Shad'ruu, had ascended to godhood, and held the Boonta Eve holiday in their honor.[6]

Clothing was optional for Hutts, and some would use live Sha'rellian toops as hairpieces.[6] They were known to smoke hookah pipes.[1]

Behind the scenesEdit

It was revealed by Pablo Hidalgo at Celebration Anaheim that Hutts have separate sexes in canon, no longer being hemaphroditic as they were in the Star Wars Legends continuity.[14]
