Droppit

Droppits were short, humanoid rodents. A number of them were among the refugees stranded on Arcooine, where they established a number of colonies. Droppits spoke Droppitese, but on Arcooine often learned other languages such as Arkanian or Selonian to communicate with other species.

Droppits lived in dams known as barrages. They created barrages by gnawing down trees using their powerful buck teeth. They then piled the tree trunks across a stream or river to create a barrage. The trunks were stuck together using a natural adhesive Droppits excreted from their mouths. The barrages cause the formation of artificial lakes. Barrage entrances were located underwater, so the artificial lakes guaranteed the Droppits safety from most intruders.

Droppits were usually under 1.7 meters tall. They had curly hair, large cheecks to hold food, powerful buck teeth, and woolly hides covering layers of blubber that insulated them in cold waters. They were excellent swimmers. They could masticate wood and use their natural adhesive excretion to form it into all sorts of objects, from toothpicks to Bailey sticks.

Droppits tried to remain somewhat isolated from the wars and politics of Arcooine. Baileys were tasked with guaranteeing the Droppits remained safe from interfering outlanders.

Behind the scenes
Droppits are, of course, inspired by both Hobbits and Beavers.
