Ewok Village

The Ewoks, the most common sentient species on Endor, usually make their communal dwellings high in the trees. Called "life-trees" by the Ewoks, they can reach heights of 1,000 meters and the Ewoks consider them spiritual guardians. Music plays an important role in Ewok village culture, which is marked by a rigid clan system. Ewoks are skilled engineers (among their inventions are gliders and catapults), and each tribe has a shaman who interprets mystical signs. A natural enemy are the 30-meter high humanoid creatures called Gorax, who search the trees for Ewok dwellings low enough to grab. One Ewok tribe has built a floating lake-top village far from where the Gorax roam.
