[edit] Biology

They had six tusks protruding outward from their snouts, and two pointed ears on top. Their eyes were yellow-green, with black pupils capable of seeing in dark conditions, yet lacked good depth perception. This resulted in the use of echolocation in these conditions.

Vulptereens' two arms ended in clawed hands, that if dismembered could result in aphasia since they lacked a central brain. However, they were quite hardy when exposed to a variety of environments and did not succumb to toxic conditions.

Vulptereens were known for piloting craft, including Podracers.

[edit] Behind the scenes

At one point, Randy Stradley, a writer for Dark Horse Comics, wanted to create a Vulptereen Jedi. However, he was told that "they're not smart enough to be Jedi".^[1]
