The Shawda Ubb, (also spelled as Shawda-Ubb) were a species of squat, green-skinned, potbellied sentients. They had four thin limbs that ended in three digits apiece, and small heads whose faces sported heavy brow ridges. As an inborn defense mechanism, they were able to spit poison. A famous Shawda Ubb was Rappertunie, who played the Growdi Harmonique as a member of the Max Rebo Band.
