Ginntho

Ginnthos were large non-sentient carnivorous spiders native to the planet Utapau who lived in the world's dark sinkhole caverns. They had the ability to spin durable silk, which they used to trap their prey before consuming it. Ginnthos were domesticated by Pau'ans, sometimes being kept in stables to remove vermin. At some point no earlier than 379 BBY, the Evereni Velya Faer remarked that the Evereni pirate leader Marda Ro was like a ginntho at the center of a web, which Ro mentioned in a message she recorded for her descendants. In 19 BBY, ginnthos in Utapau's capital Pau City were employed in the fight against battle droids belonging to the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
