Defel (1) |
Basic info
| First appearance: A New Hope | |
Summary
| The Defel (colloquially known as Wraiths) were barely visible beings native to the Outer Rim planet Af'El - a large, high-gravity, seldom-visited world orbiting the ultraviolet supergiant Ka'Dedus - who appeared to most other species as shadows, re-enforcing the misconception that they were chameleon-like beings or "living shadows". Defel could see in ultraviolet light ranges, but were blinded by all but the dimmest light in other wavelengths. This is why Defels normally wore a visor when they left Af'El, and expected to be exposed to daylight at their destination. Compared to other species, they could see exceptionally well in the dark. They were short, stocky beings, averaging 1.3 meters tall and nearly as wide. Though they were nearly invisible in normal light, Defel were actually colorful beings. Viewed under ultraviolet light, their fur appeared in colors ranging from yellow to blue. Their snouts appeared green, with orange, gill-like slits at the base of their jawlines. Elderly Defel lost their ability to absorb light, fading to a dull dark brown under visible light. | |
