The Woolies are a sentient species from the 2001 series, Samurai Jack. They live in a lush jungle region. Woolies are quadruped animals with thick fur covered bodies. They have human looking eyes and long, colorful noses which hang below their mouths. Though they are very strong physically they are often timid, most likely a side affect of emotional and physical abuse by their captors the Chritchellites. The Chritchellites are an alien species which landed in the Woolies region of the world and shortly turned their peaceful society from an idealistic agricultural community into a slave empire. The Woolies are highly intelligent and are accomplished architects. They have an impressive stone city built out of the lush jungle. Their architecture revolved around tall pillars and large offset dome, many of which had vines hanging from them. Their society, as they state, was not based on technology. They did wear clothing over their thick fur coats. They were more concerned with art beauty than technology.

Biography
The Woolies originally had a beautiful, peaceful society and an idealistic agricultural community. Being used to peace, they knew nothing of how to fight, and were completely unprepared for the Chritchellite invasion, which turned their peaceful paradise into a slave empire, with the Woolies reduced to mere beasts of burden through a combination of physical abuse and an electronic orb that rendered them physically encumbered.
When Samurai Jack came upon the Woolies' land, he was fooled into believing the Chritchellites were the natural species. Despite their hospitality, Jack eventually began to have misgivings about the Chritchelites, due to their horrible mistreatment of the Woolies and the land's archtitecture seeming much too large for creatures of the Chritchellites' small stature. After discovering the truth and destroying the orb that kept the Woolies enslaved, Jack aided the formally-gentle giants in taking their homeland back, sending the Chritchellites fleeing in terror, never to return. Deeply grateful for his help, the Woolies sent Jack to someone who would hopefully be able to aid in his quest to return to the past and free the planet from Aku's tyranny.
In season 5, two came across Ashi. Believing she was still trying to kill Jack, they attacked her and telling her she will not let her hurt Jack. When Ashi tells them that she is Jack's ally, they tell here of how Jack freed their race from the Chritchellites. Ashi thanks them for their story before continuing on her search. Later, they are among the known groups who witnessed Aku's triumphant broadcast. They retaliated immediately by storming The Pit of Hate with the Samurai's other allies and attacking Aku with members of The Blind Archers' race riding on top of them. In the course of their battle, they became some of the first casualties when Aku, in a demonstration of his strength and their vain resistance, corrupted some of them and became his ground forces. The remaining Woolies and archers were last seem fending off their corrupted brethren. Whether they survived Aku's hailstorm is unknown.
It is unknown how Aku's destruction in the past affects their existence.
