This Weequay hunter was a skiff guard employed by Jabba the Hutt. Riding on the first skiff during the Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon in 4 ABY, this guard prodded Luke Skywalker with a force pike^[3], forcing him to walk the plank. The guard was killed by Skywalker when Luke jumped back on the skiff.^[1]
