If necessary, they are able to shed their tails, an ability that has proven to be the undoing of many a startled foe.

Historical Background
In accordance with Green Alien legend, a small group of Jedi led by the Ithorian Noga-ta came to Green circa 900 BBY. Noga-ta helped to settle a civil war that had been plaguing Green Alien society for thousands of years. Consequently, the Green Aliens held Jedi in high esteem and would accept a Jedi's judgment in any dispute.

After this contact, the reptilians had little contact with offworlders for centuries. Yet soon after the rise of the Galactic Empire, planetary safaris began organizing hunting trips to Green, with the sought quarry being the Barabels themselves. With but a few Green Aliens killed from the safari hunts, one Green Alien leader known as Shaka-ka, decided to organize groups of her fellow hunters into armies which she then led to overwhelm the safari ships. Soon an Imperial investigation led to the revelation that the Green Aliens were sentient, and the safaris were ended. Shaka-ka then formed an alliance with Imperial Governor Paro Lanto and had the spaceport city of Alater-ka built. With this, some of their species began to head offworld to work as mercenaries and bounty hunters. 

During the era of the New Republic, several Green Aliens became members of the Jedi Order. Unfortunately for the species, they were brought to extinction when their homeworld was ravaged by the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the galaxy; however, some escaped the widespread fires by retreating to Green's vast network of caverns.
