A Wookiee is a member of a race of hirsute bipeds in the fictional Star Wars universe. The most notable Wookiee is Chewbacca, a companion to Han Solo. Other prominent Wookiees include Lowbacca (the nephew of Chewbacca), Tyvokka, Zaalbar, Chuundar, Attichitcuk, Tarfful, Petro, and Hanharr.
Adult Wookiees are typically taller than most humans, averaging 2.1 meters (6'11"). They are physically strong (as suits an arboreal species), have extremely thick hair, and have high endurance (although slow moving). In addition, Wookiees have an excellent sense of smell. Regardless of their looks, Wookiees are extremely intelligent and loyal, but may have a short temper. Life debts, which are held to be sacred in Wookiee culture, suggest that friendship with a wookiee is a lifetime commitment.
