Thug

Thug was a green-skinned Gamorrean who served as a bodyguard to Jabba the Hutt, a crime lord who operated out of a palace on the planet Tatooine. A member of the Groogrun clan, Thug served alongside Thok, a Gamorrean who left Jabba's criminal empire by 0 ABY. Thug was still working for Jabba when Thok returned to the Hutt's service following the latter Gamorrean's role in assisting the Galactic Empire's Grand Admiral Demetrius Zaarin in a coup against Emperor Palpatine that took place in 3.5 ABY.

In 4 ABY, Thug was one of the Gamorrean guards present in Jabba's Palace at around the time that several Alliance to Restore the Republic operatives arrived in attempt to free their ally, Han Solo, who was held prisoner in the palace. Thug wielded a double-bladed Gamorrean Battleaxe, and was one of the many whom Jabba considered big, strong, and dumb guards who were good individually, and better when utilized in numbers.
