Legend

this was one of two forms of glie which were native to the planet Naboo. Green glie could obtain nutrients by absorbing them from its environment, unlike red glie which required active photosynthesis to survive. In this way, green glie could live in any environment, allowing it to spread across the surface of a body of water very rapidly. Because of this, the Naboo considered green glie to be a nuisance. The Gungans barely tolerated it, only because green glie was a source of food for many animals they hunted. Despite its status as a nuisance, green glie was important because it could be refined into a toxic poison which caused nausea, cramps, and sever muscle spasms and seizures. The effect depended on the dosage administered, and affected all human and near-human races. An anti-toxin was produced from the blood of the peko peko.
