Background: Gallusians were a frog-like creature approximately 1 – 2 meters tall/long. They were dark green in coloration and had slimy, mottled, slightly wrinkled skin that required constant moisturization. They had six tentacle-like limbs, each with suction cups at the end, although the front two appeared longer and featured more suction pads on the bottom. They used the front two prehensile tentacles to grasp small objects. At the same time, the other four limbs had reversed shoulders, which caused them to rest naturally upwards, allowing the Gallusians to anchor themselves to whatever was above them.
Gallusians lacked any neck, their heads instead merging directly into the rest of their bodies. Their faces were flat with drooping “chins,” large jowls and lips, toothless mouths, and pitch-black eyes with protruding eyelids and another circle of jutting flesh surrounding them. There were also two small cavities located well above their eyes and adjacent to their front shoulders, although it is unclear whether these are aural cavities or some gill-like nostrils. Gallusians could seemingly not survive without submerging in an amber liquid, supposedly formaldehyde. They could produce sounds amplified by speakers fitted onto their special “travel jars.” Gallusians can pronounce their own language and Huttese, but it is unclear if they can speak Galactic Basic.
Not much has been revealed regarding the Gallusians, or their planet Gallus. If a Gallusian chose to leave their homeworld, they would need assistance to be placed into an advanced travel “flask,” which featured filtered formaldehyde, a vocalizer, a lighting system, and repulsorlift technology which allowed their container to float and gave them control of locomotion (which they could potentially control with their tentacles attached to the top of their flask). Attaching these flasks to a type of humanoid droid mech suit was also possible, giving them even more control over their actions.
Despite their biological limitations, the Gallusians were a fairly intelligent species and harbored many dreams and aspirations, often outside their reach. At least one Gallusian named Luleo Primoc did become a prominent galactic sex symbol, holomovie star, and singer around the time of the Clone Wars. However, he appeared to be an outlier among his species and is currently the only Gallusian in the greater galaxy. Because they could not access all of this advanced travel technology on their own, someone or some species had to assist them. However, any information regarding this charitable partnership or potential symbiosis is nonexistent.
