Legend

tall, predatory birds native to Altor 14, they have three opposable fingers on each wing. They are primitive and lawless, and despise technology. They are often called Altorian Birds. Much of the Avogwi society is dominated by the teachings of Toro-toral, which detail the elaborate ritual duels among Avogwi. Many Avogwi found off their homeworld are employed as bounty hunters. Emperor Palpatine subjugated a number of Avogwi during the New Order, using drugs and the Dark Side of the Force to keep the Avogwi hallucinating about their deepest fears. They were then used as vicious guards, while stormtroopers were used for more important tasks. The Avogwi are carnivorous. It is scientifically possible that the Avogwi and Nuiwit are descended from the same ancestors, although neither race will admit to it.
