Homebrew Ewok Species Details
"Those furballs are pretty fearsome warriors, despite their size."
―Col Serra
Short and Stout
Ewoks are curious and inventive individuals that stood about one meter tall; they were omnivorous and used spears, slings, and knives as weapons. They typically weigh 50 pounds
Ewoks are sentient humanoid mammals, who are on average short and colored to blend into the forest, which could provide an advantage when trying to hide. They were covered in fur from head to toe, with brown and black the most common colors. Other Ewoks had near-white or reddish fur, but red fur is supposedly the rarest shade an Ewok can get. Most Ewoks had solid-colored fur, though a few sported stripes. Ewoks had large, bright eyes, small humanoid noses, and hands that possessed two fingers and an opposable thumb.
Despite their small size, Ewoks are physically strong enough to overpower combat-trained Humans.
Naturally Inventive
Ewoks use stone-age technology such as spears, knives, slings, and darts, but they have the ability to craft intricate traps and vehicles, such as hang-gliders. They are quick learners, however, when exposed to advanced technology with simple mechanical processes and concepts.
Village people
Ewoks most typically build their villages in the canopy of large forest trees, they live in small huts, which are connected via bridges which connect the whole tribe. The tribes are run by a Council of Elders ruling over each village, headed by a chief. A medicine man also lived in the Ewok village, a keeper of mystical lore, and a healer to the injured. The warriors of the different tribes wore ragged garments on the head to signify their tribe. The warriors also wore wooden chest shields, the jawbones of tiny animals, and sharp teeth. Some decorated themselves with ornaments such as feathers, necklaces, and pendants, making their body look like a clutter of trinkets. Prominent members of Ewok tribes carried totems to symbolize their rank. The lead warrior wore a headdress made of feathers called the "white wings of hope." Families of Ewoks are made up of a father, mother and usually 1 to 5 woklings.
Born Hunters
Ewoks only hunt when there is no food left for them to eat, but when they do hunt, it is a sight to see. When in a pack they can take down large boars, usually more than twice their size, and four times their weight. They normally prefer to trap their prey, but they have effective means of aggressively hunting and immobilizing what they are hunting. They can be often seen with spears and slings, but they will resort to using rocks, poison darts, and whistie pouches when they need to.
Home Life
Ewoks typically never leave their forest.
