Duracrete slug

Duracrete slugs, also known simply as duraslugs, were a species of non-sentient slug found in the underworld of the planet Coruscant. They fed on the artificial stone duracrete, then after digesting it, secreted it from their bodies to form a hard outer shell. The creatures used a series of mouth tentacles to sense their surroundings and could grow up to ten meters in length.

Under their armored skin, duracrete slugs had tasty meat that was initially eaten by residents of the underworld out of necessity, before citizens of the planet's upper levels began using it and created Duraslug Rolls, a type of savory sandwich. Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included a recipe for this in The Ultimate Cookbook between 34 ABY and 35 ABY.
