Ree-Yees

Ree-Yees was a male Gran who served within the court of the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure during the final years of the Galactic Empire. With his distinctive pink skin, three eyestalks, and blunt snout, Ree-Yees was often dismissed as a simple-minded enforcer. In truth, he was a bitter, cunning, and deeply resentful figure—one whose dreams of rising through the underworld ranks were consistently thwarted by missteps, rivalries, and self-sabotage.

Officially, Ree-Yees was tasked with overseeing Jabba’s pet frog-dog, the sentient and surly Buboicullaar. This assignment, far from prestigious, was a source of constant humiliation. On one notable occasion aboard Jabba’s sail barge, the Khetanna, Ree-Yees misplaced Buboicullaar and was forced to scrub decks and search frantically for the creature—only to watch Jabba effortlessly summon it with a simple call. The episode only deepened the enmity between the two. Though Ree-Yees resented Jabba, his hatred for Buboicullaar was far more personal. Unbeknownst to Ree-Yees, Bubo was fully sentient—and despised him in turn.

Despite being a heavy drinker and social pariah, Ree-Yees attempted to gain influence in Jabba’s court. When the Hutt’s temporary accountant, Silvan Kaan, engineered a feud between Ree-Yees and the Ithorian Charn Roondha—who served as Jabba’s collector of "taxes" and protection fees—the Gran leapt at the chance to eliminate a rival. However, Kaan’s manipulation led to a confrontation in Jabba’s throne room, where Roondha physically bested Ree-Yees. Jabba, amused but unamused by bloodshed on his floor, ordered Roondha to spare him.

Ree-Yees also took part in mob confrontations within the palace. When Boba Fett arrived to speak with Jabba’s majordomo, Bib Fortuna, Ree-Yees was among the crowd that moved to block the bounty hunter. However, Fett’s reputation alone was enough to make Ree-Yees and the others back down without a fight.

Though he thrived among the criminal scum of Tatooine, Ree-Yees remained a lonely and ridiculed figure—the subject of palace jokes, the servant of a slug he hated, and the caretaker of a creature that loathed him. His ambition to climb higher in Jabba’s hierarchy never matched his lack of discipline, and his addiction to alcohol dulled whatever edge he once possessed.

Appearance: His most notable features are his three large, black eyes, each set atop a separate eyestalk—two on the sides of his head and one in the center of his forehead—giving him excellent peripheral and depth perception. His skin is pinkish-brown to tan, with a slightly mottled and leathery texture common to his species. His ears are wide and pointed, flaring slightly outward from the sides of his head, with a soft, fleshy appearance.

Ree-Yees wears a dark, quilted tunic with a simple cut and loose fit, lacking ornamentation or armor. His hands are large and thick, with broad, stubby fingers and a segmented, scale-like texture, giving them a rugged, almost mitten-like appearance.
