'''Rodians''' are reptilian humanoids, which serve as the enemies in Jedi Knight. They appear in all the games of the series, though not always as the enemy.
'''Rodians''' of planet Rodia are a species of green-skinned humanoids found throughout the galaxy. Rodians can be found among the Core World elite -- like Senator Onaconda Farr or Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's aide, Dar Wac -- to the lowest of the Outer Rim fringe -- like the bounty hunter Greedo.  


==Background==
Rodians have large, black eyes, tapir-like snouts, long flexible fingers terminating in suction cups, twin saucer-like sensory organs atop their heads, and a ridge of spines cresting their skulls.
Native to the planet of Rodia, these humanoids are often seen on very different worlds such as [[Tatooine]] or [[Coruscant]]. There've been many notable Rodians in the history, which include ''Greedo'', a bounty hunter in the service of Jabba the Hutt, who was shot in the cantina in Mos Eisley, or ''Onaconda Farr'', a Rodian senator, serving the Republic Senate during the Clone Wars. ''Suvam Tan'' was a Rodian scientist, who oversaw a space station near [[Yavin IV]] some four thousand years before the rise of the Empire.


Most Rodians have green skin and black eyes, though other colors also not uncommon among their species, such as blue or reddish one.

Rodians appear both in JO and JA, where they are part of the mercenaries' group affiliated with the Remnant and later the Disciples of Ragnos. Usually they use blasters or disrupter rifles to attack from afar. In most cases they wear light costumes with orange stripes and sometimes a brown vest. They also appear in [[Dark Forces II]] as a secondary enemy NPC on Nar Shaddaa, often using a small blaster. In Mysteries of the Sith Rodians are some of the guests of Ka'Pa the Hutt and attack only if being provoked.
