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.

Dioxis

"Dioxis!"
--Qui-Gon Jinn
He was right! Dioxis (dye-OX-iss), better recognized as merely poison gas. Used frequently by the Neimoidians involved in the Trade Federation, it was mentioned in The Phantom Menace. Obi-Wan Kenobi ran into this fatal toxin twice--above Naboo, when sent to negotiate with Nute Gunray of the Trade Federation with Qui-Gon Jinn, and thirteen years later on Cato Neimoidia, though this is not set in stone; it was also identified as swamp gas.

Sebulba

Sebulba (seh-BULL-buh), believe it or not, was once a slave, like Ani, his eternal enemy. This Dug (DUG), from Malastare (MAL-uh-stare), bought his way out of custody with his skill with a podracer. Even though he perpetually cheats, he is too highly thought of to be punished. After Anakin's victory, Sebulba bought the podracer his rival had piloted in the Boonta Eve Classic race, and continued to race. Before his defeat, however, the Dug's pod had had various competitive additions made, and at times the vehicle could chuck nails at the opponent, and at another had a flamethrower. An impressive figure, overall.

Sorry it's not longer, but I have to go.
