The odupiendo, colloquially known as dupie, was a bird-like, bipedal species that hailed from the planet of Naboo. Although unable to fly, the odupiendos were fast runners. Taking advantage of that particular skill, the Naboo people had created a sport called odupiendo racing, which involved several of those avian creatures running along a circular track. Such races were among the favorite betting sports in gambling places like the Outlander Club on Coruscant, and, for that reason, a stable of trained odupiendos was considered a highly valuable possession.
