Legend

this horrific creature had a huge, sucker-like mouth and large, slashing claw-like arms. They also have an insatiable appetite. Jabba the Hutt once had one of these beasts as a pet in his Tatooine palace. These creatures have only rudimentary sensory systems, but are extremely stubborn and will track their prey for several weeks. Quite often, the simple sight of a humanoid creature will send the Oskan blood eater into a feeding frenzy. Many xenoarchaeologists and xenobiologists believe that the Oskan Blood Eater was artifically developed at some point in the past, pointing to the lack of mythological or historical data from the civilizations of the planets on which they live. The Empire distributed propaganda that these creatures were created by the Old Republic, in an effort to hide the truth: the Oskan Blood Eaters were the result of a secret Imperial project.
