Massive humanoids with long snouts, heavy fur, and large black eyes, Yuzzem are noted for their great strength and volatility. However, despite their reputation (often well deserved) as temperamental brutes, Yuzzem can also surprise other species with their cunning and resourcefulness.
The Empire enslaved Yuzzem in much the same way it did Wookiees (leading to many slave revolts when the Yuzzen and Wookiees joined forces); Yuzzem are often found as slaves in Imperial labor camps, employed to handle such heavy physical activity as mining. And as with Wookiees, Yuzzem adhere to strict codes of honor and debt-fulfillment.
With their strong similarities to Wookiees, it makes good sense that a Yuzzem would appear in Revenge of the Sith (which also brings more of Chewbacca's species to the game). However, while the expansion's Wookiees are aligned with the Republic, this Yuzzem is a neutral Fringer.
As far as abilities go, the Yuzzem is actually more similar to another figure: Rebel Storm's dangerous Wampa, with its double attacks and Rend ability – as well as with its size. Revenge of the Sith's Yuzzem is the game's first Large-sized common figure.
