Special Skills:
Dexterity Skills:
Blind Fighting: Time to use: one round. Defel can use this skill instead of their brawling or melee combat skills when deprived of their sight visors or otherwise rendered blind. Blind fighting teaches the Defel to use its senses of smell and hearing to overcome any blindness penalties.
Special Abilities:
Invisibility: Defel receive a +3D bonus when using the sneak skill.
Claws: The claws of the Defel can inflict STR+2D damage.
Light Blind: Defels eyes can only detect ultraviolet light, and the presence of any other light effectively blinds the Defel. Defel can wear special sight visors which block out all other light waves, allowing them to see, but if a Defel loses its visor, the difficulty of any task involving sight is increased by one level.
Story Factors:
Reputation: Defels are considered to be a myth by most of the galaxy – therefore, when they are encountered, they are often thought to be supernatural beings. Most Defel in the galaxy enjoy taking advantage of this perception.
Overconfidence: Most Defel are comfortable knowing that, if they wish to hide, no one will be able to spot them. They often ignore surveillance equipment and characters who might have special perception abilities when they should not.

Background: Defels were a sentient species whose members had the ability to become almost invisible by bending light around themselves. Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, a Defel named Arleil Schous was a patron of Chalmun’s Spaceport Cantina when Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived in search of transport to Alderaan. Glahst Ombra was a Defel mercenary who worked with Chelli Aphra until she was killed and skinned by Magna Tolvan.
Defels were a sentient species with brown fur, two red eyes, sharp teeth, and two elongated ears, pointed upwards. They had two sexes, male and female. Defels had the ability to bend light around themselves to become practically invisible. Elderly Defel, however, tended to lose that ability. Defels had a good sense of smell, being able to scent at least a molecule of blood from six miles away. They could feast on sentient species, but preferred the meat liquified.
