Kleex

Legends Canon version → Linked from 3 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Kleex was the name attributed to a species of small, brown and yellow insects with a dark blue shell found on the planet of Tammuz-an. They were parasitic creatures that provoked an anger-inducing itching in their unwilling hosts. Because of a kleex infestation, the normally docile durkii reptiles could turn into aggressive monsters.
