Fan Casting Twi'leks in Alien Beauties

Twi'leks, sometimes referred to disparagingly as "Tail-heads," are an omnivorous humanoid species originating from the planet Ryloth. They tended to eat cultivated molds, fungi, and rycrit meat. Their distinctive features included colorful skin, which varied in pigment from individual to individual, and a pair of shapely prehensile tentacles that grew from the base of their skulls. The tentacles, called "brain-tails," "lekku," "tchun-tchin," or "head-tails," were advanced organs used for communication and cognitive functions. Twi'lek females were often used as slaves or dancers because of their beauty.
