| The Dug design came out of George Lucas' request for a compact Podracing thug with a spidery appearance. Horse-like features were also added to the face |
| A race of violent, self-congratulatory braggarts, the Dugs had tempers that were only slightly uglier than their long, scowling faces. Dugs were well-known for being a disreputable lot, and could often be found in dingy cantinas or dark alleys with all four arms into something illegal. However, with a casual glance at their culture on Malastare, the Dug homeworld, you could be forgiven for thinking such stories were mere rumours. The arboreal Dugs lived in primitive villiages in the trees, seemingly in touch with nature, as were the similarly-arboreal Wookiees. However, their culture was actually filled with violence. Their language was punctuated by much knuckle rapping and foot stomping, using all four of their limbs. Dugs used their hind legs for walking, but all four to swing around in the trees and during fights. They could switch to walking on their forelegs if they needed to, also. The Dugs had a history of violence with the Gran who shared Malastare with them. They fought viciously for many years before the Republic intervened - the Gran believed that the Dugs were subservient and incapable of ruling themselves. Unfortunately for the Dugs, the Republic ruled in favour of the Gran, and the Dugs were pushed to the fringes of Malastare's economy. Dug society became insular, and they turned into self-congratulatory braggarts. Perhaps the best example of this was the podracer Sebulba, who seeminlgy bragged constantly about his victories on the racetrack. |
