The natives of the immense fungal forests of Felucia were unusual creatures who were thought to have been primitive as well as savage in their way of life. However, while they did not develop advanced technology, they survived and flourished on their world without it which was due to their innate connection to the Force. They were not as powerful as a properly trained Jedi but were capable of using the Force to command and control their environment. This even allowed them to tame fearsome creatures within the forests such as the mighty rancors.
