What is the name of the furry teddy-bear-like species on Endor?

The story behind the answer

Ewoks are the small, furry natives of the forest moon of Endor seen in Return of the Jedi. They use primitive weapons and clever traps, live in treetop villages like Bright Tree Village, and famously aid the Rebel Alliance by sabotaging the Imperial shield generator. They’re easy to tell apart from the towering, shaggy Wookiees of Kashyyyk (e.g., Chewbacca), the hooded, glowing‑eyed scavenger Jawas of Tatooine, and the amphibious, long‑eared Gungans of Naboo (e.g., Jar Jar Binks). Fun fact: Warwick Davis played Wicket, the inquisitive Ewok who befriends Leia, and the Ewok language—often called “Ewokese”—was crafted from a mix of real languages to sound both cute and alien.
