Legend

this unusual creature inhabits the caves of a number of worlds, including Yavin 4 and Thila. Known to many explorers as the cave crawler, this strange beast is more of a fright than a threat. They can grow to lengths of two meters, and spend most of their life dwelling in deep caves where they scavenge for food. Their ability to filter out the correct elements in their air supply has given them the ability to exist in a variety of environments, including the vacuum of deep space. Specimens have even been found inside space slugs and miner's horrors. Their long bodies are supported by two stump-like arms, and they crawl with the help of two claws on each "hand." As these claws scrape along the ground, they create an eerie sound which disconcerts most explorers because you can hear the creature well before they see it - if they ever see it.
