Dianoga


An omnivorous and parasitic predator native to Vodran, it has spread across the galaxy in its microscopic larval form. Dianoga live in shallow, stagnant pools and murky swamps, growing to an average length of then meters. Their seven tentacles provide them with a means of movement and a way to grasp their prey, which they spot through an eyestalk growing from their trunks. A dianoga changes to the color of its last metal, and after a long period without eating, it will become transparent. A dianoga made its way into the trash compactor of the original Death Star battle station and almost made a meal of Luke Skywalker when he fell into its watery, garbage-filled lair.
