The Skilla were a sentient species. Their vital organs,[1] including photosensitive orbs for sight, vibrating cilia for hearing, and smell receptors, lined an uvula-like bulb suspended from the roof of their mouth,[2] behind rows of sharp teeth. The bounty hunter Carib Diss was a Skilla[1] who had an unsettling appearance as a result of his species' biology and wore a sensor dome cap to gather data about his surroundings without needing to open his mouth.[2]
