Tie-in Material Information
edit source- According to Encyclopedia Galactica (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):
- Tucanas are a sophisticated people who export high technology throughout the Galaxy. Several Tucana musicians have also gained great popularity in the Colonies. The Tucana are hermaphrodites, that is, each individual has the attributes of two sexes. In fact, they have two sets of eyes and two mouths, each controlled by a distinct part of the brain. In a very real sense, each Tucana is not one person, but two. The Toucana's (sic) broad visual range protected their forest-dwelling ancestors from the large hostile predators of prehistoric Toucan (sic). [2]
