Polyp

Polyp was a diminutive alien who worked for a salvage yard owner named Skinker on the Outer rim world of Feriae Junction. His species unknown, Polyp stood about a meter tall and had green skin with a tapered nose. Due to his size, Polyp was able to make his way through the yard's various scurry-holes that extended throughout the outpost. Several months following the Battle of Yavin, Polyp and Skinker encountered a cyborg bounty hunter named Beilert Valance whom Skinker had hired to kill a slaver named Marko Tyne. Hungry for more work, Valance was anxious to get his hands on a "droid-loving" human named Luke Skywalker. When Luke and his protocol droid C-3P0 happened to come to Junction, Skinker sent Polyp out to find Valance to tell him of the Rebel's arrival.
