Glurrg

Glurrgs were a species of non-sentient, bipedal creatures that were employed as workers for the Gungan civilization of the planet Naboo. Although glurrgs typically did not communicate in Galactic Basic Standard, they were skilled in a variety of areas, including farming, construction, fishing, hunting, and mining ores and nova crystals for use in building and maintaining Gungan settlements. Besides being capable of harvesting carbon from trees for conversion into duraplast at carbon processing centers, glurrgs were efficient laborers who compared favorably with the labor droids used by contemporaneous civilizations.

Glurrgs were a pivotal part of Gungan society since at least 3000 BBY. During the War of the Gungan tribes, the creatures were used as laborers by all of the Gungan tribal factions involved in the conflict. Glurrgs continued to contribute valuable labor to Gungan society up to and during the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY by the Trade Federation cartel. Glurrgs helped construct a monument at the recapture of Spinnaker to rally Gungan forces against the invading Trade Federation Droid Army and assisted in the Liberation of Harte Secur, which drew battle droid forces away from Naboo's capital city of Theed in a diversionary assault.
