Slith

The Slith were a sentient serpentine species native to the moon Yavin 13. Nomadic creatures, they lived in patriarchal tribes of up to fifteen individuals and had little civilization and no permanent structures. The Slith were venomous, preferring to paralyze their prey before eating them alive. They communicated with each other via a rudimentary language consisting of noises produced by rubbing their scales on the ground. Slith had little contact with the wider galaxy, remaining largely undiscovered until the reign of the Galactic Empire. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, their moon was wiped of all life, leading to their extinction.
