Ewoks

Furry forest warriors

Ewoks are the small, furry, bear-like creatures from the forest moon of Endor in the Star Wars universe.

They appear in *Return of the Jedi*, where they help defeat the Empire despite their primitive technology.

The word sometimes describes anyone small but surprisingly fierce or resourceful: Don't underestimate them—those little Ewoks took down the whole project.
