Sarlacc

Sarlaccs were semi-sentient, plant-like, omnivorous creatures found on several planets across the galaxy. The Sarlaccs were unique among galactic species, having characteristics of both plant and animal. A sarlacc spent most of its life underground with only its mouth visible from the surface. It lived to be tens of thousands of years old, and reproduced by spores.

One sarlacc was located in the Great Pit of Carkoon on Tatooine. It tortured the famous bounty hunter Boba Fett, who eventually escaped. While Jabba the Hutt claimed it as a pet, it arrived on Tatooine of its own accord. Another sarlacc could be found on Felucia. Near this sarlacc, Shaak Ti was slain by Darth Vader's secret apprentice, Galen Marek. A third sarlacc dwelled in the pit on the planet Aargonar's moon Aargonar 3. Yet another, less famous sarlacc dwelled on Tatooine next to some Ancient Ruins. It attempted to devour Count Dooku while he was dueling Anakin Skywalker, but Dooku used the Force to escape and then fled from battle.
