The Lizard Warriors, a sentient species of the Forest Moon of Endor, used individually unique weapons that consisted of a long, thin, wooden stick and a rope looped around the stick. It was used to capture beings that intruded into the reptilians' territory, the Valley of the Lizard Warriors, and keep the interloper from escaping. The stick was a relatively close-range weapon that worked well during an ambush. Once the enemy was snagged, the rope pulled tight around their body, allowing the weapon's user to control the captive, for example to force them to march.
In 3 ABY, the Lizard Warriors captured the Ewoks Teebo and Wicket W. Warrick, who had wandered into the Valley of the Lizard Warriors. The reptilians then marched the Ewoks to meet Graak, an outcast Ewok and the leader of the Lizard Warriors.
