Mellcrawler (creature)

Mellcrawlers were native to Sullust, a volcanic planet in the Outer Rim Territories. They gave off a noxious smell, which worsened when one of the creatures died By the year 20 BBY, the Sullustan reporter Den Dhur was familiar with the smell of a mellcrawler that had been dead for a week.

During that year, while in the cantina of Republic Mobile Surgical Unit 7 on the planet Drongar, Dhur was reminded of the odor of a mellcrawler that had been dead for a week after smelling the Tyrusian red ale being imbibed by his table companion, an Ugnaught named Rorand Zuzz. The Sullustan reporter remembered finding the smell of a dead mellcrawler to be quite unpleasant.
