Porgs might be Hong Kong Archivesnative to the planet Ahch-To, but the new Star Wars creatures arriving in December with the new The Last Jedifilm look strangely familiar.

After more details about the puffin-like creatures came out Thursday, we couldn't look away. It's so cute, but also scary — maybe even evil?

But there's hope that the flying, nest-building creatures are the new trilogy's version of the Ewok.

Here's what the suspiciously cute porg reminds us of:

Speaking of penguins, it looks like one.

A colleague thought "penguin fetus" was more accurate. Or a weird penguin mixed with a robot. But plain-old penguin works, too.

As Lucasfilm Story Group's Pablo Hidalgo already said, these little dudes look like the Star Wars version of puffins.

Those eyes make it look just like a baby owl.

It kinda, sorta, maybe even looks like a tamagotchi — come on, with the oval shape, you see it right?

Bonus: Actor Wilford Brimley

Maybe it's the mustache in the exact shape of the porg's mouth, but something about the 82-year-old actor known for 1982's The Thing strikes quite a resemblance to the Star Warscritter.
