Kaleesh are a sentient species from the planet Kalee. They have scaly skin, tusks, and long nostrils, though few outsiders ever saw a Kaleesh face that wasn't obscured behind a traditional mask. Kaleesh culture is deeply spiritual and warlike. War is seen as an essential part of life, and wars between tribes are common. They have two yellow eyes with slit pupils, and although all of their facial features are reminiscent of bats, such as their elongated ears and flat noses, the Kaleesh usually wear masks. They are digitigrades, walking on their toes rather than their entire feet. They are also known for their lack of mercy.
