kalliks

Kalliks are a fictional species that appear in the Star Wars universe. They are known for their distinctive appearance, characterized by a tough, leathery hide and a prehensile trunk that extends from their face. This trunk is highly versatile, used for grasping objects, communicating through scent, and even tasting. Kalliks are native to the planet Kallid, a harsh world with extreme temperatures and arid landscapes.

In terms of societal structure, Kalliks tend to be pragmatic and resourceful, traits honed by their challenging homeworld. They are often depicted as skilled engineers and mechanics, capable of adapting and creating technology to suit their needs. Their culture emphasizes survival and community, with strong bonds formed within their clans. While not inherently aggressive, Kalliks can be fiercely protective of their territory and their kin.

Their physiology allows them to withstand extreme conditions, making them well-suited for harsh environments. The leathery skin provides protection against the elements, and their unique respiratory system enables them to filter dust and toxins from the air. Communication among Kalliks involves a combination of vocalizations, trunk gestures, and scent-based signals, making interspecies communication sometimes difficult. They have occasionally been encountered by other galactic species, often in roles related to trade, resource extraction, or as mercenaries, due to their resilience and practical skills.
