Dowutin are massive humanoids who can live for centuries, and dying of old age is unheard of for them. While most other species become frail as they age, Dowutin never stop growing and getting stronger. As teenagers, Dowutin resemble Wookiees in size and strength, but by their fifth century, they are a mountain of muscle weighing a metric ton. They have leathery, brown skin, and their hairless head has two tusks on the chin. The material of their tusks also makes up sharp claws, which make them even more formidable in combat. Dowutin physiology comes with one big drawback, however: They eat almost half their weight every day, so affording food can be very difficult.

Society:
Dowutin are a very straightforward people, and their society is among the most simple in the galaxy. They have few cities, governments, or even organized social structures, as they often survive entirely on their own. Children are left behind by their families at a very young age and must learn to fend for themselves. If given the choice, they are solitary, but they will team up if it benefits them. They are very blunt in conversation, easily agitated, and not at all amiable. Dowutin are valuable as mercenaries and bodyguards because of their size, but they absolutely refuse to take orders from anyone who is physically weaker than them. As such, those who employ Dowutin will command them in more subtle ways, typically phrasing their commands as suggestions or advice.

Might Makes Right:
Dowutin believe that might makes right in the most literal sense: They settle disputes through brawls or organized contests of strength. The idea of grudges, revenge, or justice are all foreign to them. As they see it, if they are strong enough to accomplish something, they have every right to do it, and the same applies for others. Strength in the literal sense is very important to them; it is a measure of worth and earns them respect. As such, they are often confused when they interact with other species, who evaluate people using criteria that the Dowutin find unimportant.

Homeworld:
Dowutin come from Dowut, a world in the western part of the Core. It has a harsh environment and is fairly frigid. The Empire has taken over their planet, but Dowutin are useless as slaves because they refuse to take orders, and most of them are nomadic enough that they simply ignore the Imperial cities.

Language:
Dowuta is a loud language spoken in a low voice, and most non-Dowutin lack the vocal cords to pronounce it. Conversely, few Dowutin see a reason to learn Basic unless they travel offworld.
