Arakurth

Canon Linked from 9 articles

Arakurth were a type of gigantic worm with three claw-like teeth protruding from their mouth. They were native to the green gas cloud of the Typhonic Nebula. In 35 ABY, the pilot Poe Dameron hyperspace skipped the YT-1300 light freighter known as the Millennium Falcon into the nebula's Megafauna Chasm and encountered an arakurth. The Falcon managed to avoid the worm, but two First Order TIE/wi Interceptors pursuing the freighter collided with the creature.
