Sooman Species
The inhabitants of the planet Sooma have so far appeared only in issue 4 of the Droids comic series and issue 10 of Ewoks. The Soomans are led by a king named Zornog and are on uneasy terms with the nearby planet Alzar. Some Soomans like king Zornog are red in color with an insectoid body and a sharp beak. Others, like the Sooman guard pictured below have a yellow coloring and seem to lack a long beak. Whether this is a variation in the species or if the beak simply grows with age is not known.
Personally, I think the Soomans look like a fun, but very underused species. They are kind of a rarity in that they are one of only a few species (Alzarians and Ewoks being the others) to appear in media from both Droids and Ewoks. Should they appear again somewhere in the Star Wars Universe of today? I hope so, but what do you think?
