The Mon Calamari and Quarren species were created for Return of the Jedi. The Mon Calamari design was developed by Phil Tippett for Admiral Ackbar and his fleet officers, and he named it after a lunch of calamari salad he had one day. The Quarren was originally a single alien for the background of Jabba's palace called "Squid Head." It was designed in a series of sketches by Chris Walas and Nilo Rodis Jamero.
