About Ewoks

Photos of Ewoks.

Ewoks are an alien race of hunter-gatherers native to the forest moon of Endor.

Ewoks appear as stocky, sapient bipeds that stand about one meter tall. They resemble ambulatory teddy-bears, but share certain features with chipmunks and apes as well. They are completely covered in fur and have large jewel-like eyes; both their fur and their eyes come in a variety of earth-tones, primarily brown, grey, gold and black. They are omnivorous and their diet is primarily composed of berries, fruits, and small critters, although Ewoks are known to hunt larger creatures for food in packs.

Most Ewoks live high among the trees of Endor's forests, in villages built between the closely spaced trees. Ewoks venture to the forest floor to hunt, and set traps to catch various prey. Although extremely skilled in forest survival and the construction of primitive technology like gliders and catapults, the Ewoks have yet to progress past stone-age technology. They use spears and slings as weapons; they also use hang gliders, battle wagons, and bordoks as vehicles. They are quick learners, however, when exposed to advanced technology with simple mechanical processes and concepts.

The Ewoks have a tribal culture, with a Council of Elders ruling over them, and the Council, in turn, headed by the Chief. A medicine man also lives in the Ewok village, a healer and a keeper of mystical lore.

The surrounding giant trees play an important cultural role in the Ewok religion; the Ewoks are a deeply spiritual race who believe themselves to be descendants of the Great Tree, a sacred tree in the forests. Ewoks also get their medicine from a single tree deep in the forests of Endor. The tree excretes a substance in which the Ewoks call "Chak". They use it to heal their ills.

They mistakenly worshipped a golden gay robot for a short time.
