#hoojib

In the Star Wars rpg campaign I'm running, Robin's character has a pet hoojib, kind of a psychic space rabbit with an antennae. I was first introduced to hoojibs back in 1983 with the read along book Planet of the Hoojibs. It's kinda wild how good the art is, you should take a look.

I adapted them for our campaign setting, so they're not quite the same as they once were. Now they're kind of like the equivalent of a pirate's parrot. I'm getting sidetracked though, the present. Since Robin's character has a pet hoojib, I decided to make her a stuffed one.

This is the almost final product. I forgot to take a picture of it with the pearl attached to the end of the antennae. Whoops. But you get the idea.

Hoojibs were a rodentlike species native to Arbra, in the Outer Rim. Although their diminuituve size and resemblance to other animals confused many into thinking otherwise, Hoojibs were sentient beings. They possessed telepathic abilities and fed on energy produced by crystals.

Fuffle was a Hoojib from the Outer Rim world Arbra. He accompanied Rebel heroes C-3PO and Chewbacca when the pair confronted the Darker, a beast holding the Hoojib people in a telepathic grip. Fuffle helped Chewbacca kill the Darker by charging it with his compatriots.
