Description: Gamorrean Guard
Prefix: DZ
Detachment: Krayt Clan
Context: Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Gamorreans are large, green-skinned humanoids from the lush Outer Rim jungle planet of Gamorr. They are known to be fierce warriors, prized for their great strength and brutality in combat. Numerous Hutts have employed various Gamorreans throughout the ages, currently including the intergalactic crime lord, Jabba the Hutt. Gamorreans are favored as hired guards, not only because of their powerful physique, but their thick mindedness makes them immune to tricks such as bribery.
