Description: The Herglics were a species of sentient, hulking aliens with black skin, a wide mouth, oily eyes, and a blowhole. Due to mistreatment by the Galactic Empire, many took refuge on Level 1782, on Coruscant, where one rescued Anandra Milon from a stormtrooper. The Herglic Qensog provided Rebel Alliance fugitives with coordinates to the rebel vessel Home One.

Biology and appearance
Herglics were a sentient species, with dark, slick skin, and oily eyes. They had a large head with no neck or chin and a wide mouth with tiny, serrated teeth. Herglics also had cartilaginous shoulders and a blowhole on their heads.

Herglics in the galaxy
With the advent of Sheev Palpatine's Galactic Empire, the Herglic race became the object of mistreatments from the new regime. On Coruscant, capital world of the Empire, some Herglics had found shelter along many other non-humans in the immense junkyard called Level 1782. A Herglic was captured by Trandoshan slavers and sold to the Xonti Brothers to be trained as a gladiator. The Herglic died during training.

Shortly after the destruction of the planet Alderaan in 1 BBY, a Herglic criminal killed a stormtrooper in order to rescue Anandra Milon on Level 1997, suggesting the fugitive might find shelter on Level 1782. The Herglic Qensog was a contact of the informant Bodo Linx and provided a number of the Rebel Alliance fugitives with coordinates leading them to the MC80A Star Cruiser Home One in the Kaliida Nebula. In 4 ABY, the Herglic Gor-kooda worked for the Sullustan crime lord Surat Nuat and his gang on Akiva. He accompanied his employer to a shop in search of the stolen objects. After eventually capturing the owner, Temmin Wexley, the Herglic brought him to Nuat, but when taking him to a cistern, they were attacked by Sinjir Rath Velus and Jas Emari, who escaped with the boy.

I have questions.

1 - May I ask how you arrived at the Herglic stats as they are? Specifically, Strength? I was wondering at the source used.

Due to artwork showing them generally bulkier than Wookies, and the stats from D20's Ultimate Alien Anthology (UAA) (Herglics get +4 Str, +2 Con; Wookies get +4 Str), I would have thought Herglics would be equal-ish to Wookies, if not stronger.

The "Natural Armor" ability helps with that extra Con/durability here, I like that, but that was also mentioned separately in UAA (which could account for their extra bulkiness).

UAA also mentions them being "Large" size characters/creatures (most characters are Medium or Small size). On one hand, "Large" payable races from DnD/D20 systems.......I wondered a long time if making them Speeder Scale would be a great way to work them into the D6 system. The Herglic with 5D Str, but Speeder Scale, would be 7D VS Character Scale weapons and such, but would be easier to hit, harder to hide....thought it would balance out. Also, if they fought a Wookie, Wookies would be able to dodge and weave in a melee fight, but more easily hit the Herglic.

2 - The lady with the fairy wings in the pic. What race is that???

3 - If Herglics have a blowhole on top of their heads, and I remember somewhere they were described kind of like anthropomorphic orcas ("killer whales"), does any of the lore mention them having any kind of aquatic swimming ability, or living in water? I don't know if they do, just came to mind since they have the blowhole, thought it'd be worth asking about too.

Follow up on question 3. Looking on Wookiepedia, but in the Legends version for Herglics, I found...

"Most of the evidence of their waterborne ancestry had been bred out so that, for example, fins and flukes were replaced with arms and legs."

...So, no big deal. Also, blowhole, should've realized they're waterborne mammals and not fish, my mistake. And as bulky as they are, swimming bonuses, uh, no, that doesn't fit them either.
