I must admit, I'm baffled too by the term! I thought they looked like big walking Kermits, myself...

The Gungans are a race of species in the movie Star Wars: Phantom Menace.

ROFLMAO! Yes, indeedy. Toads=Gungans... don't know whether the game's creators intended it or not, but the resemblence is certainly there. As an avid SW fan since 1977 I can say I've seen all four pics so far in excess of a hundred times all around (all of them, not just one). Ukabu, Mekawa, etc. all sound a whole lot like the Gungan tongue (no pun intended). Hehehehe....

They probably did borrow a little bit from that, Belle! There's references in fantasy literature on a Queen of the Serpents named Xydussia (that's so close, it's practically a rip-off). Not to mention a lot of allusions in the Serpent Temple to "Lair of the White Worm" (Bram Stoker novel, Ken Russell flick).
Interesting, very interesting! -Sazerac |

Thought we were all geeky enough to know about Gungans ;] Those of you who have not seen SW
 hantom Menace should see it now, just for the correlation ;]
