Legend

this entity was unearthed by the miners who worked to make a living on the desolate world of Corbos. They first found an ancient skeleton, after blasting away at a particularly hard outcropping of rock. This woke the sleeping Leviathan, and it attacked the mining colony with a vengeance. The entire colony was wiped out, but not before the leaders managed to send a distress signal to the New Republic. Leia Organa-Solo asked her brother, Luke Skywalker, to send a contigent of Jedi Knights to investigate. The Levianthan is a huge, crustacean-like beast that stands on two massive legs. It has four smaller, crab-like arms. Its thick head is studded with several horns, and its four blood-red eyes sit atop a mouth studded with razor-sharp teeth. Large fin-like plates ran down the creature's spine. A first creature was defeated by Kyp Durron, who discovered that the Leviathan could trap the Force-energies of its victims in a special nodule near its head. Meanwhile, Kirana Ti, Streen, and Dorsk 82 discovered a huge nest of larval Leviathans in the mining colony's operations center. The death of the first creature awakened an even larger one, and the four Jedi were pushed to their limits in an effort to defeat it. The two creatures, once destroyed, released all the souls of the miners they had killed.
