An amphibious species who laid eggs which later hatched onshore, the Melodie were born resembling Humans with little difference noticeable. These young Melodies would live around the underground freshwater lakes deep within the caverns and inlets of the moon's equatorial mountain ranges until they reached the age of 20, when they were to complete the change into an adult Melodie in an event called the Changing Ceremony. Prior to this, young Melodies who had not yet changed would care for the infant Melodies; this involved gathering trico which was then made into a paste to feed the infant Melodies until they were old enough to eat the silver-backed fish that lived in the pools within the mountain. Young Melodies lived a dangerous life since they were often preyed upon by numerous predators

| - An amphibious species who laid eggs which later hatched onshore, the Melodie were born resembling Humans with little difference noticeable. These young Melodies would live around the underground freshwater lakes deep within the caverns and inlets of the moon's equatorial mountain ranges until they reached the age of 20, when they were to complete the change into an adult Melodie in an event called the Changing Ceremony. Prior to this, young Melodies who had not yet changed would care for the infant Melodies; this involved gathering trico which was then made into a paste to feed the infant Melodies until they were old enough to eat the silver-backed fish that lived in the pools within the mountain. Young Melodies lived a dangerous life since they were often preyed upon by numerous predators, including the bird-like avrils, the rodent-like raiths, the serpentine reels, and the spidery purellas. During the Changing Ceremony, these Melodies would be taken down to a shallow cove to begin their transformation from land-dweller to water-breather. This shallow cove was the only safe place the Ceremony could take place. It was covered in a blue-green algae which created oxygen through photosynthesis for the Changelings to breathe. This process could take weeks, making the Melodies vulnerable to attacks from Yavin 8's predators. Thus, they were guarded by their fellow Melodies who had not changed. During the ceremony, a Changeling's legs would fuse together into a single, finned tail, and they would also grow gills for breathing underwater. When this change had completed, making them Elders, the Melodie would retreat to deep underground lakes within the mountains where they would live out the rest of their adult lives. Elders were able to surface for limited amounts of time, which they use to communicate with their young. However, this did not apply to the oldest Melodies, who were not able to surface at all. Because of their limited mobility, those who traveled the galaxy after their discovery used an environsuit with robotic legs to help propel them. Channeling water constantly over their gills and skin, the older a Melodie got, the more important it was for them to wear a helmet when out of water.
