The Ewok religion was the traditional spirituality of the Ewoks from Endor, a small forested moon orbiting the gas giant planet of the same name. The Ewoks worshipped many different supernatural beings, known either as "gods" or "spirits." In some cases, those deities were humanoid in shape, others were animalistic, and others were associated with "natural" forces on the moon, such as the trees, the wind, the rain, and the night. The Ewoks saw their deities as close to them, existing within the same world; they would frequently call upon the spirits and address prayers to them. Since Endor was a forest moon, Ewoks had a tendency to worship and mythologize trees.
