The Joba Tribesmen were primitive, but tough sapients on planet Joba who attacked Ratchet on sight with either with a sword or a laser cannon. Some Tribesmen will take hold of a turret to fire at Ratchet, or even ride the Jobian Saur-Beasts for a fighting advantage. They could take quite a beating, and where much tougher and stronger than their Barlowian cousins. Their armor would fall off as a sign of damage.
