Wheel alien 3, apparent winner of this round of the Big Game, is a club-wielding green biped with 3-toed feet, fan-like ears, and a single cranial horn

Wheel alien 2 is a defeated and presumably dead Big Game contestant, also a yellow axe-wielder, but with 2 cranial horns, face never visible. Possibly intended to be a Devaronian

Aliens of original Marvel SW issue 18 1st in the Wheel arc Sentients: humans, Chewbacca the Wookie, & 3 participants in the Big Game (death match) Wheel alien 1 is an axe-wielding yellow biped, three toes per foot, three projections each side of head, and complex head crests

Aliens of original Marvel SW issue 17 1 comic set pre-ANH (except the frame story) Sentient: humans, Jawas, Tuksens, Chewbacca the Wookiee First depiction of a womp rat, shown eating a smaller rodent before killed by Luke in a T-16

So at least 7, possibly as many as 14, new species in this issue, but only the Hutlarians are named

He (not Fud) reports the discovery of Kihotay (a big plot point) to Valance, suggesting he is Fud's superior. Also, Slssk does not accompany Valance to destroy the records. So this probably is Slssk!

Onacra alien 7 is one of the hunters killed by the bantha stampede.

Kill Switch alien 4 is, I believe, the first triocular species pictured in Star Wars

Kill Switch alien 3 is a poorly detailed monochromatic figure, I can't rule out he's human. I don't think we've seen this hunter before though, as his sniper rifle looks distinctive. Also killed in the bantha stampede.

Kill Switch alien 2 is a distinctive-looking alien, possibly Near-human. He is trampled by banthas on Aduba-3

Kill Switch alien 1 is seen on Valance's ship. Possibly the same species as Nar Shaddaa Marvel alien 1, but must be a different individual

Nar Shaddaa Marvel alien 1 accompanies Remel Fud and Dafi to capture Jaxxon; all three are killed by Amaiza

Telos-4 alien 6 is a distinctive true alien, but sadly part of his face is hidden by Valance's speech bubble Fun Fact: Telos-4 would reappear in Jedi Apprentice and KOTOR II

This distinctive looking helmet is worn by the individual who (with Fud) discovers Kihotay, and although different than his appearance before and after this, storywise I believe this is Slzzk!

In a different panel are Telos-4 aliens 3-5: poorly detailed, monochromatic figures; I am not certain if they are human or alien, masked or not. They all carry a rifle, so cannot be no. 2 above (with double pistols)

Due to inconsistencies of armor and coloring, and changes of outfit by location, I'm not sure how many hunters there are in total, and I won't include definitive humans During the attack on Anglebay Station, we see Telos-4 aliens 1-2. Their unusual mask shapes suggest nonhumans

Remel Fud seems to be the "second officer" of the hunter crew. His species goes unnamed but according to "The Not-So Magnificent Seven" he is from Nembus Sector, which thus may contain the homeworld of his species

Chewbacca the Wookie and other ANH characters make the cover, though only appearing in a flashback on one page. Nonetheless, as stated, they are Valance's *intended* targets

Jaxxon the Lepi returns. He reveals Lepi believe in a place called the "Holy Hutch"!!! Valance's hunters catch him with an elecro-net, the first ever appearance of this weapon type (overlooked by WP). https://t.co/24BqecxGyp

One of the few named hunters is alternately spelled in the issue Slzzk or Slssk (Valance's right-hand), according to the text itself he is a Hutlarian. He wears a full mask on missions, but only a partial mask when aboard ship
