A squat species with green skin, the Fluggrians had high foreheads which jutted forward over their face. A race of spindly limbs, each Fluggrian had three fingers on each hand ending in a large talon. Their skin was dotted with several sensory inputs in the form of purple spikes, which were capable of processing information at a high rate of speed. Large, square teeth filled their mouths and were hidden behind thick lips. Breathing through gill-like neck bands, the Fluggrians could breatheoxygen with ease.

Native to a marshyplanet calledPloo IV, the Fluggrians lived on floating cities which connected via thick underwater transit tubes. Plagued by a high crime rate, the planet's inhabitants were highly suspicious as a society and were highly intolerant of theGlymphid race which was native to the neighboring worldPloo II.
History[]
A species native to theplanetPloo IV, the Fluggrians established floating cities on their world before being discovered by theGalactic Republic during theSubterra Period.[2] Developing space travel, the Fluggrians came into contact with theGlymphid species which inhabited the planetPloo II, a world within the samestar system. Highly intolerant of each other, the Fluggrians constantly warred with the Glymphids and formed a cultural stigma against each other.
Controlled by theGalactic Empire throughout theGalactic Civil War, the species' homeworld was invaded by theYuuzhan Vong empire during the species'invasion ofthe galaxy.[2]
