Soycho

Soychos were a limbless sentient species from Soycholis. They propelled themselves forward on a natural tread and had deep pockets on their sides that contained digits allowing them to manipulate whatever they placed their pockets around. About a meter and a half in length, they could shift their internal organs to bring themselves to a height of about a meter. Lacking mouths, they communicated by smell and were able to absorb nutrients by opening tubes in their pockets. Human sweat smelled like their word for hostility and they went to war with the early colonists who reached Soycholis in 16,522 BBY. Eventually, the conflict was settled by Thoondar Keeyorl, a Jedi who used the Force to communicate with the Soychos. Many Soycho joined galactic civilization afterward.
