    • The Ghosh'daru are a large muscular species with formidable armor covering them which provides protection from harm. They are mainly maroon with a dark grey underbelly in coloration although there are mutations that can occur that will cause them to be purple and white.

  • Distinctions:
    • The Ghosh'daru are a rather imposing species at 10'8" in height towering over most species. They have a hard armor shell which covers their entire form and a large mace shaped tail which provides both balance for their weight and serves as a formidable weapon. They are Hermaphrodite and can change between both male and female should they wish for a child but they share no obvious distinctions that would separate gender. An older specimen will molt into a darker shade of maroon and their underbelly will turn black.
  • Races:
    • None
  • Force Sensitivity:
    • Force Dead
Strengths:
  • Heat Immunity
    • The Ghosh'daru live in and around Volcanoes making them immune to forms of extreme heat.
  • Force Dead
    • The Ghosh'daru are Force Dead which means that they cannot be affected directly by force powers
  • Formidable Armor
    • The Ghosh'daru have developed quite a formidable shell around themselves which provides considerable protection from most forms of weaponry
  • Flame Breath
    • The Ghosh'daru have developed an organ within their body that allows them to breathe fire
Weaknesses:
  • Cold Winter
    • The Ghosh'daru have become so accustomed to heat that cold temperatures and cryofreeze are particularly effective in defeating them
  • Force Lightning
    • While they are force dead to some degree, they have quite a vulnerability against the Force Power known as Force Lightning and Electric Judgement.
  • Force Weaponry
    • While their armor protects them from most forms of weaponry, Force Weapons such as a Sith Sword can break their armor without much difficulty.
  • Limited Vision
    • The Ghosh'daru have quite terrible eyesight because of their rather small eyes making it rather easy to hide in plain sight.
CULTURE
  • Diet:
    • Other
      • The Ghosh'daru are born in volcanoes and have developed digestive systems which allow them to break down volcano rock and other rocks into editable food which supplies them with energy the same as meat does to human based species.
  • Communication:
    • The Ghosh'daru communicate in a spoken language called Tilla'smook which sounds rather crude to human ears and has less heavy words within its vocabulary. It is not impossible for them to learn Galactic Standard Basic or other languages but speaking them would take considerable time due to having to adapt to the different sounds and vowels compared to their own simplified language.
  • Technology level:
    • The Ghosh'daru have developed quite basic technology which draws lava from their volcano to act as a powersource instead of traditional sources of power. But they have yet to develop some of the more sophisticated technology such as hyperspace travel and starships.
  • Religion/Beliefs:
    • Tor Marlok
      • Tor Marlok is the God of Volcanoes and is believed to grant them protection against extreme heat and the ability to breath flame.
    • Gaz Indo
      • Gaz Indo is the God of Protection and is believed to grant them their durable armor which allows them to survive
  • General behavior:
    • The Ghosh'daru live a rather lonely existence by themselves within their claimed territory which is usually a volcano and the perimeter around it. Since they are Hermaphrodite they can change from male to female and stay depending on their desire. Raising their offspring alone unless a male Ghosh'daru has found a female Ghosh'daru and they have performed a mating ritual in the flames of the Volcano to officialize their marriage. The offspring are typically sent away from the volcano to find their own territory once they have reached the age of 200 and disputes between territory are settled in a violent battle with the victor banishing the loser. They mostly focus on building things using the lava as a power source such as axes and for rock farming. They are not hostile towards other species unless they show ill intentions but there are exceptions.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The Ghosh'daru developed within the Outer Rim on an undisclosed volcanic planet. Originally a small rock creature only 2 meters tall they soon grew larger in size by combining themselves during the Old Republic Period. Although having quite a numerous population split into several tribes in the beginning they began to wither away due to a deadly bacteria which came from trash and toxic chemicals being dumped over their world by corporations since they had found quite a loophole within the Ancient Galactic Republic's definition of sentient. Branding the 'Ghosh'daru' as rocks allowed them to evade the eyes of the authorities since rocks were not considered sentient at all.

The bacteria withered the population of the Ghosh'daru down and down into only a handful of them were left to inhabit the large planet. The remaining survivors obtained the ability to switch between both male and female organs in order to repopulate their species over time but they were weary of repopulation due to the possibility of more chemicals being dumped over there world. The remaining tribes split from one another to avoid grouping together as it increased their chance of survival. Single individuals began to settle across the volcanic landscape building houses near volcanoes and building crude technology that used lava as a powersource.

Some Ghosh'daru had the opportunity to leave the planet during the Clone Wars which further dwindled the population and some even headed to the volcanic world of Mustafar. But they were never heard from again as the Separatist Alliance and the Mustafarians exterminated them just before the Separatist Council was eliminated by the hands of Darth Vader. The species slowly developed over time during the Galactic Civil War Period and the Vong War Period gaining more abilities such as the ability to breath fire and a complete immunity to extreme heat.

During the current timeline, the Ghosh'daru have begun to repopulate their numbers over a period of time but they are still at a risk of extinction and have managed to avoid any outside interference in their affairs mostly due to their planet being rather inhospitable and underdeveloped.
