	There is no race name that I know of.  The toys only referred to this
one as "Squid-head".  Original, eh?

	This one is easier.  That was one of the Gamorean Guards.  (Gamorean
being the race name.)  Personally, I thought they were a lot closer to orcs
than giff.  Think about it...  Would a giff run screaming in terror from the
Rancor?  No way!  A true giff would run up and try to head butt the thing to
death.
