Genius Womp Rat
popular rumor during the height of the Galactic Civil War was that there existed a highly-evolved, intelligent subspecies of womp rats, known as genius womp rats, in the deep deserts of Tatooine. Very few beings ever claimed to encounter the genius womp rat, and none was ever able to bring back a live specimen. Among the most notable rumors was that of a rogue, Mon Calamari scientist who was hired by a Hutt crimelord to genetically alter womp rats. Some escaped, and managed to remain viable in the wild. Another simply claimed that the "genius" womp rat was simply a smarter individual whose exploits were blown out of proportion. All these stories were never corroborated by actual evidence, and so the existence of the genius womp rat remained something of an "urban" legend on Tatooine.
