Bouncers

Although they seem merely cute, fuzzy green balls with tails, Bouncers are actually sentient inhabitants of Ruusan (roo-SONN). Pushed along by the wind, they ricochet off of various objects to obtain greater heights. Contrary to appearance, these green little orbs are simply very light, and the Ruusan breezes are obviously more than enough to shift them. To soar higher, they just aimed for rocks or the like with built-in skin flaps and bounced off of them. Found on this nocturnal creature's face were two huge eyes. It is debated whether the Bouncers could indeed control the Force to approximately the degree of an ordinary Jedi, but they were certainly aware of it, and other Force-users could sense them. The Force was kind enough, however, to give the Bouncers dreams and visions, which were very accurate, both for the near future and for things farther into the things to come. However, weak Bouncers could be killed by "dark" dreams. These were telepathic to a mild degree, sensing the emotions of those around them, Bouncer or not.

Once, a Bouncer wrote to Kyle Katarn, "Blowing wind steady. All right will be." Almost like Yoda, I think.

Since the Bouncers communicate among themselves with whistling and warbling, they could only communicate through written language with other species. They also highly valued life. They healed and comforted and saved whenever they could.
