Guaqa

The guaqa was a type of burrowing lizard that was capable of curling into a ball and was found on a desert planet. At some point during the Imperial Era, a pit was dug into the planet by individuals enslaved by the Galactic Empire. A guaqa helped one prisoner—a human named Crux—escape the pit by creating holes in the wall for him to grab onto when climbing out of the pit. Later, a guaqa observed a mural created by a painter in the pit.
