Background: Ortolans were a sentient species of squat, blue-skinned bipeds with large, floppy ears, beady black eyes, and a trunk-like nose that were native to the cold planet Orto. They consume large amounts of food in order to develop a warm layer of blubber due to the frigid temperatures of their homeworld. Max Rebo, founder of the Max Rebo Band, was a male Ortolan.
Ortolans were a sentient species of squat, blue-skinned bipeds with trunk-like noses and two beady black eyes. They also possessed small mouths filled with blunted teeth behind their noses and a pair of large, floppy ears, which were sensitive to sound and used to store fat. Ortolans fended off the cold of their icey and snowy habitat by eating their way to a blubbery body. Their articulated digits were able to absorb food and drink as well as play musical instruments. According to Inspector Thanoth, their secretions were “quite distinctive.” Ortolans were capable of speaking Galactic Basic Standard and their average lifespan was 71+ years.
