Eye-snatcher

Eye-snatchers were predatory red-feathered birds native to the Ottega system. Their nests were raided for their edible eggs, which resembled eyeballs. Attempting to rescue their stolen eggs, the birds would often mistake humanoid eyes for the pilfered eggs, and snatch up thieves' eyeballs by plucking them out with their talons. The bumbling Abyssin cyclops giant Gondry was one such unfortunate being.

The Besadii Hutt crimelord Gardulla kept eye-snatchers in her luxurious if notorious pleasure garden, within her Tatooine palace near the Dune Sea.
