The Shawda Ubb were the native people of the planet Manpha in the Outer Rim Territories. They were small amphibians (30 to 50 centimeters tall), with long arms and round, squat torsos. They were adapted to their moist, swampy homeworld, and felt depressed and withdrawn in arid environments. Shawda Ubb could defend themselves by spitting a paralyzing poison, which could immobilize a Human for up to fifteen minutes. On Manpha, Shawda Ubb ate swamp plants and raw fish. They did not digest cooked or processed food very well.[1]
Most Shawda Ubb lived a simple, low-technological lifestyle in small communities on Manpha. Many of these towns and villages pumped crude petroleum from the Manphan swamps and sold them to oil companies in Manpha's capital, Shanpan. There, they were processed into plastics and exported from the planet's only spaceport.[1]
One of the galaxy's most famous Shawda Ubb was Rapotwanalantonee Tivtotolon, or Rappertunie, a musician who played the growdi with the Max Rebo Band.[2]
