[edit] Biology and appearance
The Troigs were a species of beings with two heads and four arms. A Troig would have one hand as its primary with the other three as off hands. Because the two sets of arms were controlled independently by each head, they lacked good coordination. While most Troigs were born with a pair of heads, and each had its own mind, Troigs with three or more heads were rare and celebrated in Troig culture. Each head, being one individual entity was known respectively as the Saprin and the Saprah. The Saprin, or right head, was the source of "breath humors": loyalty, faith, and cunning, whereas the Saprah, or left head, was the source of "blood humors": love, anger, and passion. Each head and identity was constantly aware of the other, and the two names were joined by the conjunction sin (i.e. "Fode" and "Beed" becomes "Fodesinbeed"). They were unique for being one of the rare species with two heads. Each head was capable of thought and speach, making them two individuals who share one body.
[edit] History
Troig were from Pollillus, an impoverished world beyond the Koornacht Cluster, discovered shortly before the Invasion of Naboo.
[edit] Troigs in the galaxy
AndroosinLiann, the host of Essence, was of this species, as was Fodesinbeed, who hosted the Boonta Eve Classic in 32 BBY. A third Troig was Dwuirsintabb, who jolted the ethical community when Dwuir wished to be separated from Tabb.
One Troig was known to participate in circuses on the planet Coruscant.[1]
