greenwash
Political term, meaning a whitewash except over something ecological. A greenwash is when an environmentally destructive corporation or institution gives itself a makeover to make itself look ecologically friendly, without really changing anything. For instance, it embraces green-sounding rhetoric and imagery, produces glossy PR about its supposed environmental initiatives and makes a show of "listening" to opponents, but it doesn't actually abandon the practices which led to its being condemned as being anti-ecological in the first place.
BP's rebranding, including a new logo with a yellow sun on a green background and slogans about looking after the planet, is a classic example of greenwash.

Bakura
Planet on the edge of Old/New Republic/Empire space, on the far edge of the Outer Rim (Star Wars expanded universe). First planet targeted by the Ssi-Ruuk aliens for colonisation and entechment. Ruled by Imperial Governor Nereus and later by Gaeriel Captison. Saved by a coalition of imperial and rebel forces.
The planet is a major manufacturer of repulsorlifts. Droids are almost unknown, and the local religion, the Balance, is hostile to Jedi.
Ruled officially by a planetary senate but in fact by the governor during the imperial period. Planetary defences are run by Petr Thanas, who was sent there as a punishment for refusing to massacre insurgents at a slave mine. After the fall of the governor, it is ruled by the senate and is affiliated to the New Republic.

Not only is it impossible to avoid combat with the creature, you need to use Kai skills or magic to make sure it doesn't hit you with its threads before you get into close combat range.
Gnaag
Sneaky Darklord with a spindly, skeletal body, bird-like legs and a brain-like head with fly's eyes. Armed with a trident/pole-arm. Usually coloured in shades of green, blue and purple.
Gnaag becomes leader of the Darklords (the fourth and last) after the death of Haakon, by means of manipulation and intrigue. He then began a clever strategy to take over Magnamund, which almost succeeds. He is the "boss monster" at the end of Lone Wolf 12: The Masters of Darkness, the last in the original series of Lone Wolf gamebooks. If the book goes according to plan, Gnaag is slain and the Darklords are destroyed.
Gnaag is also the nominal ruler of Mozgoar, although apparently resident at Helgedad.

His predecessors as leader were Vashna, Zagarna and Haakon. The deaths of these rulers and the exile of Slutar left only fifteen other Darklords subordinate to Gnaag.
