Wookiees have many customs and traditions that revolve around honor and loyalty, including the special bond called the honor family and the sacred pledge called the life debt. A wookiee never uses his or her climbing claws in combat; doing this is considered dishonorable and a sign of madness.

Physical Qualities

Adult wookiees are tall, many over seven feet in height, and covered with a uniform, mid-length coat of thick hair in various shades of brown. Although albino wookiees are rare, they are not unheard of. However, such births are generally held to be a bad omen, as white hair does not blend in with the earth-tones of their forest surroundings. Wookiees sport retractable claws they use for climbing.

Significantly stronger than humans, wookiees are often hardier as well. Their long legs enable them to cover ground quicker than most species, even in the dense woods they are most comfortable in.
