Tusken Raider

Tusken Raiders, otherwise known as Sandpeople, are a sapient species from the desert world of Tatooine. They prey upon travelers and are renowned for their savagery.

Biology
Tusken Raiders are bipedal humanoids believed to be descended from the Kumumgah and distant relatives of the Jawas, possibly also related to Humans, although they are genetically incompatible with Humans. Their true appearance beneath their coverings is unknown.

Culture and society
Tusken Raiders are extremely dangerous and not to be trifled with. Tusken Raiders never remove their robes in front of another, except during childbirth, on their wedding night, and during coming-of-age ceremonies, a tradition spawned from the necessity of using their robes for protection against Tatooine's harsh environment. To remove any part of their garments in front of another under any other circumstances is grounds for banishment or death.

Beasts of Burden
Tatooine's heat, dust and sandstorms can take damage to mechanical transport, but animals can make ideal beasts of burden. Banthas are the exclusive mounts of sand people.

Stealing
At times, sandpeople steal water and blood from settlers, but strongly favor their gaderffii staffs.
