Legend

this was the name of an eel-like race which was the only sentient species from the planet Florn. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game states that Lamproids are native to several worlds. The Lamproid's long, thick body was a mass of muscular coils which it used to hold onto its prey. Its head was covered with light-sensitive stalks that surrounded a mouth full of multiple rows of teeth. A tendril-like tongue could be extended from the mouth in order to "taste" scents, and a milky poison was contained in the Lamproid's saliva. The Lamproid had a stinger that was used to protect itself, and it bled purple blood. It was believed that the Lamproid race evolved from intestinal parasites that had someone developed intelligence. Along with this intelligence, Lamproids developed a form of telepathy and mental control, which manifested itself in a form of communication that could also be used to alleviate another being's pain or force them to do simple biddings.
