The Ithorians, commonly referred to as hammerheads, are a sentient species from the planet Ithor. They have a unique set of twin mouths on opposite sides of their necks. Their unique throat structure prevents them from speaking Galactic Basic, so they usually have a device that allow translation from Ithorese into Basic. For the most part Ithorians are very peaceful and detested violence as well as revering nature. Their own home planet of Ithor is held as sacred ground and hunting there is extremely prohibited.
