Homebrew Yoda Species Details

Yoda

Yoda are extremely small creatures with green skin and large ears. They possess incredible mental abilities, and almost all are a special type of monks called Jedi. Unknown to many cultures, there are  only three Yoda ever known to exist.

A Curious Race

With such a small population on the material plane, Yoda have no known culture, and some don't even acknowledge that Yoda are their own race, saying that they are pure anomalies.

The three Yoda known to exist were all very distinguished in their power and influence. The first, Yoda, for which the race is named, was one of the most powerful Jedi ever, with the title of Jedi master, and a leading member of the Jedi high council. Yaddle, the second of their race also served on the Jedi high council, in a lower position than Yoda. The third is a mysterious child that has never been named or become a Jedi, but has extremely powerful abilities.

Yoda are not known to reproduce, so it is suspected that there is a far, secluded corner of the material plane or even perhaps a separate plane full of Yoda, and very rarely, one will journey into a human civilization.

Yoda Names

Yoda generally don't have names as children, going by names such as "the child", or "baby Yoda", but as they reach adulthood they gain a name, usually reflective of their sex. As only three Yoda are known to exist, there are only two Yoda names (the third was a child who had not received his name yet).

Male Names:  Yoda

Female Names: Yaddle
