C-3PO "befriends" the Mupples.
Mupples are a non-sapient species of small, furry creatures native to a galaxy far, far away. They are consumed as food and considered a prized delicacy in some planets.
Biology[]
Mupples are small creatures entirely covered in shaggy light-grey fur. They have two furry tentacles, a small tubular antenna on top of their heads, and a pair of large blue eyes with white sclerae.
Despite their friendly and harmless behaviour, they're prone to becoming agitated, although they can be soothed by soft music.
Appearances[]
- Star Wars: Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO, s01e10, "Tail of the Roon Comets" (1985)
Notes[]
- This species is a reference to the Tribbles from the Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles". The scene in which C-3PO opens an overhead door on a spaceship and a bunch of Mupples fall on top of him parodies the same thing happening to Captain Kirk in that episode.
