LEGO Star Wars Minifigure Nikto Guard (SW0496)

Nikto Guards are formidable enforcers often seen in the service of crime lords like Jabba the Hutt in the Star Wars universe. Recognizable by their reptilian features, tough skin, and distinctive facial horns, Niktos are native to the planet Kintan. These guards wear rugged armor and carry various weapons, including blasters and vibro-axes, reflecting their roles as both protectors and muscle for their employers.

In "Return of the Jedi," Nikto Guards are prominently featured as part of Jabba's entourage, maintaining order and security within his palace and sail barge. Their loyalty and combat skills make them valuable assets in the criminal underworld, embodying the rough, dangerous life on the fringes of the galaxy.
