Maritima

Maritimas were a type of venomous green snakes. They commonly lived in high mountainous areas on the planet of Kessel. Those creatures' limbless bodies were mostly covered with hexagonal scales, with a series of broad lamellar scales on the belly. The top of their heads sported three horns, and Maritimas also possessed a rattler at the end of their tail. In 0 BBY, just before rescuing Princess Leia Organa from the first Death Star, the Jedi Apprentice named Luke Skywalker encountered these creatures while attempting to rescue his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, from the clutches of Gyaos Vader.
