Phuii. Their use is not recommended in a purely
Legends setting.

Bardottans are a species with saurian biology. Their
neck is long, curved, and wrinkled. They have a
duck-like head, with eyes on the sides and a narrow
snout including nostrils and a mouth. They get around
by hopping with their three-toed feet. Their knees
bend backwards. Bardottans can look very different
from each other in many ways. First, some have a tail,
and some do not. They also vary greatly in height,
from one meter to nearly two meters. Some have
three-fingered hands, others have four-fingered
hands. Some also have two skin colors, while others
have just one. Their skin is often green, but it can also
come in yellow, gray, purple, or red.
Society:
Bardottans are best known for being a very spiritual
people. They are also disciplined and knowledgeable,
and many tend to be scholarly. They are also very
independent and take pride in being able to do things
by themselves. Few ask for assistance in anything.
They view education as privilege, not a right, and
earning it requires intense study. Bardottans tend to
focus on academics, and each city specializes in a
different field of study.
Dagoyan Masters:
Bardottans have a rich Force tradition, although they
long detested the Jedi Order for kidnapping children.
(This opinion somewhat changed in 19 BBY after
Mace Windu assisted the people.) Almost all
Bardottans believe in Dagoyan ways, and Dagoyan
beliefs are deeply ingrained into their culture. They
practice peace, meditation, and study. However, long
ago, the Bardottans were not so peaceful. They
instead were ruled by the Frangawl cult, a violent
group of demon-worshippers. While the Frangawl
were barbaric and stuck fear into the hearts of many,
they truly believed that their actions were moral and
necessary.
Homeworld:
Bardotta is a mountainous world in the Colonies that
most Bardottans call home. It is covered in many
temples and academic facilities. Few Bardottans
leave their homeworld.
Language:
Some Bardottans know Basic, but they almost always
choose to speak in their own language, Bardottan.
