They had the ability to see ultraviolet light and other frequencies not seen by the Human eye. Although not common, Hutts were able to be Force-sensitive. The Hutts were also completely immune to Force mind tricks, owing to a natural resistance possessed by the species.
They were also immune to many otherwise lethal chemicals, and could strike lethal blows with their tails. Hutts were also indigestible, a feature that saved Zorba the Hutt from being eaten by the sarlacc on Tatooine.
The slimy coating of sweat and mucus protected them from burns. A Hutt's hide was sufficiently thick enough to take several blaster shots before vital organs were reached, permitting the Hutt ample time to pulverize would-be assassins who came unprepared to deal with such a fleshy obstacle.
#Why are the hutts so powerful skin
Their thick, sweaty skin and the heavy layer of fat beneath it served an evolutionary role, maintaining their body temperature. In fact, a Hutt's thick, fatty hide hid a powerful musculature, allowing them to move with surprising speed on the single muscular "foot" formed by the base of their tail and belly. While this made them distinctive to non-Hutts, they were seen with distaste and considered a type of mutant among their race. Their slimy hides were typically hairless though an exceptionally rare number were known to grow both locks and beards due to the presence of a recessive genetic trait. They were also able to open their mouths to incredible lengths allowing them to swallow almost anything Despite these many characteristics, they were generally classified as gastropods by scientists due to the slithering, slug-like manner of their movement. However, they possessed traits like marsupials as they bear their young one at a time who were nourished in a brood pouch in the body. Yet they were also similar to worms as they were hermaphroditic and thus held both male and female sex organs. Similar to sea mammals, their nostrils close and their large lungs allowed them to stay submerged underwater for hours at a time. In terms of physiology, the Hutts were known to be an anomaly as they possessed traits from many different species.
In Hutt society, weight was equated with power and status, so thin Hutts were derided as weak and unworthy. Most of their bulk rested in their bulging belly and thick, slug-like tail, adding to their impression of bloated corruption. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they were often semi-sedentary, spending their days lounging lazily, and traveling on repulsorlift sleds or palanquins borne by teams of slaves. Following its decline, a resurgence occurred in the form of Voragga Zuuma's Hutt Cartel in Year 10.Īppearance " Hutts are all backside." - Eli Gandįull-grown adult Hutts were very large creatures, boasting a total body-weight of as much as a metric ton. In recent years, several Hutt syndicates have gained prominence such as the Hutt Grand Council that existed circa Year 3. Certain members of the species - such as Angobba Desilijic Lucar, Percilia Kajidic, Voragga Zuuma, and Tobba Nokko, - are widely considered to be crime lords who dabble in the less-than-respectable affairs of galactic commerce. The species is said to originally hail from the planet Varl, but no planet by that name appeared on any Imperial star charts. The Hutts are an avaricious species of large gastropods with stubby arms, wide cavernous mouths, and huge eyes who once controlled an expansive empire in Hutt Space. For their notable criminal syndicates, see The Hutt Council or The Hutt Cartel. Pretty clear who's taken the years better.This article is about the Hutt species. (Bib Fortuna was at Jabba's side when Annie Skywalker was fixing up pods and was still at his side and not looking particularly old nearly 30 years later when Luke came knocking.) They also suck.īut, as I pointed out, Twi'Leks are more agile than Humans (most of the SW strippers were Twi'Lek rather than Human, and any club is always going to hire the best dancers) and they have longer lifespans than Humans. Hutts use thier money to hire bounty hunters, the best being boba, a human. Or the Rakatan, yeah thier infinite empire is dead now but imagine how long they kept it going and how many races they owned. There everywhere and they are the most wel-rounded race of all.
