Homeworld: Endor Species: Yuzzum Gender: Male Weapon: Blaster rifle

Wam Lufba never knew the name of the poacher who captured him on Endor. Because of his comparatively small stature, Wam was ostracized in the Yuzzum hunting parties. He was often assigned to spot ruggers on the savannah floors but not allowed to hoist or throw the traditional Yuzzumi spear, despite his claims of great accuracy.

On one hunting expedition, he and four members of his tribe were kidnapped and woke up in the cargo hold of a starship. The poacher offered the Yuzzum to Jabba the Hutt in the hopes of paying off an old debt. Jabba was incensed, and threw the poacher and his quartet of Yuzzum into the rancor pit.

In the scramble to escape certain death, Wam grabbed a hunting rifle that had fallen into the pit. While the rancor feasted on its victims, Wam fled into its holding pen, and fired his rifle, killing three guards with the utmost precision. Before the rancor could make its way to Wam, the Skrilling Pote Snitkin made his way into the pen and seized the scrawny alien in his powerful hands.

Jabba agreed to Snitkin's plea to spare the feisty creature's life. The Yuzzum displayed remarkable skill with a rifle, and Snitkin said he could use an extra hand in his business.

The Czerka 84-U hunting rifle rarely left the Yuzzum's side. Because of his marksmanship, Snitkin nicknamed the Yuzzum "Blam." Wam regularly accompanied Snitkin on his smuggling runs. During his trips to Jabba's palace, the Yuzzum was often found hunting rodents in the dungeons or keeping an eye on Snitkin's main rival, Hermi Odle.

One day, Wam was surprised and delighted to see another diminutive Yuzzum, Joh Yowza, arrive at the palace. The rhythmic and almost musical conversations of the two Yuzzums were often heard as intermezzos between performances of the bands that visited the palace.

Wam didn't care to join the execution party in its trip to the Pit of Carkoon. In fact, he sympathized with one of the prisoners for killing the rancor beast. When word of what happened at the Sarlacc reached Wam -- including news of Pote Snitkin's death -- he realized that he was free to do whatever he desired. After accompanying Yowza on a tour of the Outer Rim and the Centrality, Wam returned to Tatooine and began a small business as an exterminator of womp rats and other vermin.
