Priapulin
Priapulins were a sapient species from the planet Pria. They resembled large worms with five knobby notochords arranged around their tubular length. When fully extended flat, they measured at four meters in length, however preferred the configuration of an upright S shape. They had three pairs of eyes, and the underside of their bodies were covered in thick bristles. The spiny appendages along the edges of their bodies were specialized for a number of purposes, being hooked, thorny, or spatulate. They enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with the Crast species, whom Priapulins referred to as "food-kin."

Priapulins spoke Basic in a smooth whisper. Priapulin measured distance in "salt pans" (nine of which was equal to eleven kilometers) and time in "tides" (one of which equaled ten hours).

One notable Priapulin was Charza Kwinn, a pilot employed by the Jedi, who once transported Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to Zonama Sekot.
