Jawa
Jawas are a species of alien from the Star Wars universe, natives of Tatooine. They are scavengers, often seeking out technology or valuable minerals for sale or trade in the deep deserts in their huge sandcrawler transports.
They are also a pygmy and rodent-like race, and considered "remarkably ugly". They are on average about 1 meter tall (although in Episode IV some much-taller Jawas can be seen organizing droids to present them to Owen and Luke) and characterized by their brown robes, glowing yellow eyes, and quickly spoken language. They are almost always seen wearing hoods which completely shadow their faces, leaving only the gleaming eyes visible. (Although part of the "shadow" is a swarm of bugs hovering close to the Jawa's face because its smell is horrid.[5]) In most Jawa clans, half the clan works and lives in the sandcrawlers while the other family unit dwells in fortresses deep in the desert where wares collected are stored.[5] These fortresses have high walls made from large chunks of old wrecked spaceships for protection against Tusken Raiders and Krayt Dragons. The species is not known for its aggressiveness, but incidents of Jawas sufficiently provoked and using their sandcrawlers to ram and damage offending customers' property are not unknown

Apparently the sandcrawlers the Jawas use were left over from a galactic mining operation on Tatooine, I read that in a Star Wars short story book.

I thought they were Ewoks, but they were furry, so I'm probably wrong, sorry.
Posting just in case...
