Trodatome

Trodatomes are a sapient non-humanoid molluscan species, who spoke a complex and hard to understand language. Klaud, a member of this species, served as a Resistance mechanic.

Biology
Trodatomes are a sapient molluscan species that resembles upright slugs with wrinkled yellow skin, standing at about 1.89 meters tall. While they lack limbs, they have two flipper-like feet that they use to waddle. While they lack arms or other humanoid appendages for manipulating objects, they have six blue-tipped prehensile sensory antennae around their heads, with two smaller antennae between their large, bulging eyes. Their faces are semi-humanoid, with two eyes and a wide mouth, which possess at least four tusk-like teeth within them.

Culture and society
Little is known of Trodatome society. Their members are known to wear no clothes, and speak in a complex, difficult-to-understand language.

History
Before 35 ABY, a male Trodatome named Klaud worked as a mechanic somewhere in the galaxy, and after a case of mistaken identity, he entered the service of the Resistance. When the Resistance was contacted by an Ovissian named Boolio, Klaud was assigned to the Millennium Falcon when it was sent to meet him, as the mission was disguised as a simple parts pickup, when in reality, it was for Boolio to relay information from within the First Order to the Resistance. Klaud was accompanied by two Humans, Poe Dameron and Finn, along with a Wookiee named Chewbacca and an astromech droid named R2-D2. After getting the intel, Klaud was told to fix some power surges in a component of the ship, only to be thrown around during evasive maneuvers taken while trying to escape from incoming TIE fighters. Klaud was further frightened by Poe's erratic jumps into hyperspace, especially when they nearly rammed into a massive spaceborne creature in the Typhonic Nebula, although the Falcon managed to escape the TIEs and return to a Resistance base on Ajan Kloss.

Klaud was present at a meeting of Resistance members, where it was revealed that the Sith lord Sheev Palpatine had somehow returned to life, and had taken control of the First Order.
