Kaleesh
The Kaleesh are a nomadic and politically neutral race from the planet Kalee. A bipedal reptilian species, the Kaleesh have reddish-brown scaly skin and cover almost all their bodies to protect them from Kalee's blistering sun. Additionally, they have retractable claws on all four of their fingers, elongated ears, flat noses, and yellow, slitted eyes. The Kaleesh are also renowned for their warrior culture and combat prowess. Most of them wear masks that are carved from the skulls of the planet's most feared creatures such as the karabbac and the mumuu.
General Grievous is an example of a Kaleesh.
Kaminoan
Kaminoans are tall, thin, pale-skinned aliens, with distinctively long necks, which live on the isolated planet of Kamino.

Why this record matters
“List of Star Wars species (K–O)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, List, Star and Wars provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3971250. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1977.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
