Ponda Baba, alias the "walrus man", was a male Aqualish pirate who worked with the notorious Dr. Evazan. He once stumbled into Luke Skywalker, obviously drunk, in an effort to make it clear that he did not like him. Luke understood nothing in Aqualish so Evazan confirmed that neither of them liked him. Though Luke tried to avoid conflict the duo drew their guns and Baba lost his right arm to  Obi Wan Kenobi. Sometime after the duo met up and Evazan tried to replace Baba's arm, with little success and nearly killing Baba in the process. The two swore vengeance on eachother and parted ways before teaming up again later to secure Baba a new body. They captured an Aqualish senator and switched their brains, giving Baba his arm back but the Aqualish escaped and detonated himself. Evazan and Baba were enemies again as the blast nearly killed them both. He then returned to his pirating days.
