Unidentified Ewok chief

An Ewok chieftain acted as the leader of an Ewok village located on the forest moon of Endor around 19 BBY. The Ewok and his village were constantly under threat from a massive beast they called the Beast in the Mouth of the Mountain. During the last year of the Clone Wars, a galactic event that the Ewoks were not involved in, the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems arrived on the forest moon during a stage of the war known as the Outer Rim Sieges. The droid armies built an outpost on the moon, but were eventually discovered by the clone armies of the Galactic Republic.

The Republic sent a detachment of clone troopers to the forest moon, but soon lost contact with the clones. When a Republic gunship arrived to investigate, the Ewok chieftain sent his scouts to investigate the new set of Republic forces. When they returned, they brought with them the Jedi Knight Aayla Secura, who had accompanied the clones. The chieftain requested that Secura go and defeat the Beast in the Mouth of the Mountain, as it had been responsible for the death of her clone troopers and the destruction of the droids. Secura accepted the mission and fought the beast, killing it in combat.
