[edit] Characteristics
Peaceful by nature, they were distinguishable by two distinctly different varieties. Some Riorians, such as Loje Nella, had two large, ridged flaps of skin that extended from either side of the head. They also had tufts of green hair on their scalps. A second variety had gills and a large cranial sac. They had eyes with red scleras with black pupils. With their non-protruding mouths closed, they had the appearance of not having one. They also had non-protruding noses.
[edit] History
At some time in their ancient past, Riorians descended from the cliffborer worms of Tatooine. One of the haired Riorian variety, Loje Nella, came under the employ of Jabba the Hutt as his accountant.
[edit] Behind the scenes
According to Leland Chee's Holocron Continuity Database, he is debating if Loje Nella is a Riorian.[1] For the time being, Loje will be considered a Riorian. Note that the CCG states Loje Nella belongs to a sentient species descended from Tatooine's cliffborer worms.
