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

The Mutant Acklay was a variety of the amphibious acklay that had been mutated by the toxins of Golbah's Pit on Geonosis. Many lived under the waters of the Ebon Sea, where they hunted creatures within the sea and surfaced to attack prey on land. Mutant acklays were hardier than standard acklays, and had heavier claws. Their shells were a glossy black.

During 1 ABY, a spacer killed a mutant acklay that had escaped the Geonosian Bio-Lab on Yavin 4, using part of its carcass as a trophy.
