Infamous for their slow pace and the strange honking noise they make, these droids are nothing more than power generators on legs, only able to understand the simplest of commands. They are usually found on underdeveloped planets.

Normally in grey, the colour brown is rather unusual - probably as a reference to the christmas theme of the advent calendar.
