Although pretty mild in terms of spoilers, we will be talking about some of these new characters in this story so come back later if you don't want anything spoiled about Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Star Wars fans are probably no strangers to 'weird little guys' as fans have affectionately named them. Over the years, we've seen the likes of Babu Frik, Watto, Yoda, plus many more - and the good news is, developer Respawn made sure there are plenty in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

One of the little guys that have been getting a lot of attention is Turgle, a frog-looking individual with whom Cal frequently interacts. Love him or hate him, it's clear Turgle has made an impression on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor fans already.

Along with Turgle, there's also Skoova Stev, who, to be honest, looks like a mix between a walrus and a crustacean. Skoova can usually be found sitting in its boat-ship hybrid machine and, according to the tweet below, "talks like a dwarf from The Lord of the Rings."

My personal favorite is the Boglings that have returned from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and look like the kind of rodent you'd find deep in the rainforest or desert or something. According to the @CanYouPetTheDog Twitter account - which confirmed you can pet the Boglings - these creatures are native to the planet Bogano (hence the name), but can also be found on the planet Koboh.

One of my favorite things about Star Wars is what I like to call the "weird little guy effect." I'm pleased to report Jedi Survivor has some of the best weird little guys ever.

In Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, pettable boglings are plentiful on the planet Koboh, despite being native to the planet Bogano. Since a bogling stowed away on the player's ship in the first game, the heroes may have accidentally introduced an invasive species to a new ecosystem. pic.twitter.com/0BzcqMPD0dApril 27, 2023

You can meet all of these new guys now that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has been released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. PSA for PC players though, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's PC performance is seriously lacking, leading to 'mostly negative' reviews.

We've barely scratched the surface in terms of Jedi: Survivor's weird little guys, but if the ones we've mentioned haven't piqued your interest enough, we suggest taking a read of our Star Wars Jedi: Survivor review.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
