A Gamorrean is a large pig-like creature from the fictional Star Wars series. The creatures have little intelligence and are often hired as guards, mostly by Jabba the Hutt, who was fond of hiring them due to their low cost. On their home planet, Gamorreans exist in a sort of tribal political system dominated by the female sows.

Physically, Gamorreans appear in Return of the Jedi as greenish, slimy (and apparently smelly) pig-like creatures. They are about 1.8 metres (6 ft) tall and weigh about 100 kilograms (220 lb).  Jabba the Hutt was known to use dim-witted Gamorreans as enforcers and bodyguards.
