Wizards enter The UnderDen with Ozzy during the quest The Underden after failing to fool Ali Baboon and being dropped through a trapdoor from the Audience Chamber. The first creatures you encounter are some Gobblorean Guards. They are also minions of Boa Fett.

Gamorreans, derogatorily known as “pigs,” were a sentient species of green-skinned pig-like humanoids that hailed from the Outer Rim planet of Gamorr. They grouped themselves in clans, each of which was led by a warlord and a Clan Matron. A number of Gamorreans were employed by the crime lord Jabba the Hutt to act as guards throughout his career.
