Wookie

Growling shaggy giant

A Wookie is a fictional species from the Star Wars universe—tall, fur-covered humanoids known for their strength and distinctive growling vocalizations.

Chewbacca, Han Solo's copilot, is the most famous Wookie.

The term sometimes appears in casual speech to describe someone exceptionally hairy or large: He came out of the shower looking like a Wookie.
