5. Chewie has retractable claws but he doesn’t use them

Adult Wookiees have different characteristics than most humans, hence Chewbacca’s height. But they also posses a range of various unique abilities. Their pure strength is not to be found in any other no humanoid species from books and comics. They adapt to different environments wearing only their fur, and have keen senses.

A special characteristics of theirs is that they have retractable claws meant to help them climb the tall trees on their planet. However, it is dishonorable to use them in fights and that is why we never say Chewbacca using them. Those who have used the claws in fights were named “madclaws” and excluded from their communities.
