Twi'leks are a humanoid species originating from the planet Ryloth. Their distinctive features include colorful skin, which varies in pigment from individual to individual, and a pair of shapely prehensile tentacles that grow from the base of their skulls. The tentacles, called "brain-tails", "lekku", "tchun-tchin", or "head-tails" are advanced organs used for communication and cognitive functions. Twi'leks prefer their native language of Ryl, which incorporates subtle movement of the lekku. When they wish, they can even communicate in complete secrecy using their versatile brain-tails. Twi'lek females are often used as slaves or dancers because of their beauty.
