Rock wart venom

Rock wart venom, or rock wart sting juice, was a powerful neurotoxic venom found in the mouth and sting of the rock wart, a creature from Tatooine. Once dried and ground into a black powder, it could be used as a poison. Bib Fortuna, the chief of staff of Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine, was known to carry powdered rock wart venom.

According to the rogue archaeologist Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra, the Separatists liked to use the venom, and the headquarters of the scientist Istan Zaly had a trap which used arrows tipped with rock-wart venom to be fired at intruders. Between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, the Sith assassin Ochi was hit by an arrow that contained the venom when he, the Sith Lord Darth Vader, and Aphra traveled to the headquarters wher Vader acquired the Zaly Shield. The effects of the venom left Ochi not feeling so good.
