Twi'leks/elf's/half elf's

Twi'leks, sometimes referred to derogatorily as Tail-Heads or Twi's, occasionally referred to as Rylothians, were a tall near-human species whose most striking feature was a pair of long appendages protruding from their skulls, called lekku. They hailed from the planet of Ryloth, in the Outer Rim Territories, and female Twi'leks were often exported offworld as slaves. Twi'leks were considered one of the most common species in the galaxy, with its members easily able to blend into a crowd without drawing attention, as opposed to rarer, more prominent species, like Togrutas. Some armies used this to their advantage, employing Twi'leks as undercover agents. Twi'leks were a species of tall humanoids whose skin spanned a vast array of colors,[18] including white,[12] orange,[7] yellow,[13] green,[6] pink,[8] blue,[5] purple,[9] black, grey,[14] and red.[10] Their most distinctive feature was the pair of prehensile appendages that sprouted from the crown or base of their skulls,[18] known as lekku, or head-tails. Although Twi'leks normally had two lekku,[1] some individuals had four.[5] Super sensitive lekku could grab and hold objects and react to the slightest touch. A damaged lekku could cause serious harm to a Twi'lek's health.[1] The species had two sexes, male and female. While most males typically had ears with lobes resembling those of humans, some males had cone-shaped hearing organs located in the same place on the head,[14] a trait customarily found in the females of the same species.[22] Although Twi'leks naturally had blunt teeth,[23] males typically sharpened them to points.
