Despite the planet's extreme conditions,
Mustafar has spawned a number of native life-forms. Some of these have even evolved sentience. The native Mustafarians care little about the offworlder concerns on their planet. They simply busy themselves harvesting the minerals carried in the lava streams of their world. There are two notable subspecies among the Mustafarians. Tall, thin ones are known to ride the lava fleas on the cooled, crusted-over surface of lava flows; shorter, burly Mustafarians can be seen riding hovering harvesting platforms, skimming the lava rivers with heavy pole-mounted cauldrons.
