Biology and Appearance
Aloxians are a sentient species from the planet Zav Alox, a rocky planet at the edge of the galaxy. Diminutive with a humanoid build, they have blue skin, brown eyes and white hair. Although they can understand Galactic Basic, Aloxians will usually only speak their own language. Aloxians are born with immense physical strength and a naturally violent nature, which some claim is due to the Aloxians' homeworld being infested with the carnivorous Vonduun Crabs. Aloxians are capable of being Force-sensitive.
Society and Culture
As an initiation rite, young Aloxians are sent out to hunt a Vonduun Crab, wearing the skull of the crab if they were successful. Aloxians believe the crab skulls fuse with their wearer's head and balance out their naturally aggressive nature, which some claim is the reason the species aren’t in a state of constant civil war. As an Aloxian grows into maturity, their expanding head shatters their helmet, which is seen as a sign of Aloxians fully becoming themselves. Some Aloxian children are prized as soldiers due to their strength and natural aggressiveness, often being captured by raiders to be sold as child soldiers. Some captured Aloxian children are separated from their skull helmets to enhance their murderous capacity.
