Maelibus

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The Maelibi alien race, native to the planet Iego, were known as Demons by those beings who had visited the planet. They were less well-known than the Diathim, primarily because the Maelibi lived below ground, and rarely left the planet itself. It is believed that the Maelibi live forever, or at least till they are killed by unnatural influences. This could have some relationship with the suspended time found on Iego.

They were said to resemble the Diathim, although they lacked the wings of the other race, and were generally considered even more beautiful. The humanoid bodies of the Maelibi seemed to be formed from molten gold, and their lyrical voices were said to be the embodiment of music itself. However, they earned the nickname "Demons" because of their feeding habits. The Maelibi preyed on those beings who had been stranded on Iego, dragging them screaming beneath the surface of the planet. A single individual was referred to as a Maelibus.

The skin of a Maelibus is very strong and reflective, causing low power blaster bolts or energy attacks to reflect right off it. It required more force than average to pierce a Maelibus's skin, but they have no resistance to lighsabers. If a human were to punch a Maelibus, they would end up harming themselves much more then their intended victim.
