A member of the mystic findsmen order of the Gand species, Zuckuss is a insectoid bounty hunter who answered Darth Vader's call to capture the Millennium Falcon. On his mist-shrouded homeworld of Gand, Zuckuss developed an almost supernatural talent of tracking down his quarry. Zuckuss has teamed up with the droid hunter, 4-LOM, and the two travel together aboard the Mist Hunter. After failing to capture Han Solo, Zuckuss and 4-LOM joined the Rebellion for a very brief stint before returning to their hunter ways.
For many years Zuckuss was known to fans as "4-LOM," since the classic action figure bore this name. It wasn't until many years later that the correct names were assigned to both hunters.
