Thranta Riders
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Thranta Riders, who referred to themselves as Air Brothers, were sapients of an unknown species from an unknown world who tamed the thrantas of Bespin and rode them, performing aerial circus-like shows across the galaxy. They liked to paint themselves with complex patterns.
During the New Jedi Order era, Jacen Solo fell down from Cloud City while being hunted by some Black Sun followers. If not for one of the Thranta Riders that saved him, he would have fallen down and been crushed from the pressure.
[edit] Behind the scenes
As part of the concept art designed by Ralph McQuarrie but ultimately not used for The Empire Strikes Back, the Thranta Riders were known as "What-Nots."
Base on their appearance, the Thranta Riders may be near-Duros.
