Krelman's species

Krelman's species are an unnamed humanoid species with an odd way of drinking. One member of this species, Krelman, was a lonely drifter on Tatooine.

Biology
Members of this species are externally almost entirely identical to Humans, with the exception of an extra finger on their right hands, and a flat-topped protrusion atop their heads that bears a mouth-like orifice. This orifice has no visible lips or teeth, and appears to be perpetually open. Members of Krelman's species are capable of drinking through this orifice, but it is unknown if they can consume solid food through it. It is also unknown if the "normal" mouth of Krelman's species can be used for consuming substances, but it is known that they are capable of speaking with their "normal" mouths, with their cranial orifice appearing to be mute. Due to the placement of their cranial orifice, it is unknown where their brains are located, although they may be in a ring shape around the orifice's gullet. While the lifespan of this species is unknown, their members can become visibly elderly, sharing traits with elderly Humans, such as grey hair. They can grow hair on their heads, but cannot grow any hair on the flat top of their craniums.

History
At some point before 1 ABY, an elderly male member of this species, named Krelman, lived on the Outer Rim desert world of Tatooine, where he felt lonely and depressed. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, during 1 ABY, Krelman visited Chalmun's Cantina in Mos Eisley, where he became stricken with the Human night shift bartender, an elderly Human woman named Ackmena.
