Legend

this huge mollusk inhabited the swamps of Randorn 2. Its shell measured two meters across, and its tentacles added another three meters in length. Its shell was coiled and chambered, and the creature's fleshy body stuck out the open end. The Mizx who inhabit the planet believe that the ibliton was the avatar of Hershoon the Destroyer, created from Hershoon's demented soul in order to perpetuate his legacy. In reality, the ibliton predate the Mizx by several millennia, and the fossil record indicated that forerunners of the ibliton existed 600,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Their bodies are segmented and insectoid, with armor plating covering all but the four tentacles. Their segmented legs end in sharp, knife-like talons, and allow them to walk along the ground. The ibliton display a form of raw cunning in their predatory actions, and have been known to attack explorers in ambush attacks.
