Damutek
this immense, tree-like creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a mobile vivarium for the Shapers. Damuteks were moved through space as spaceships, then landed in the position which the Yuuzhan Vong needed them. The huge damutek crushed everything beneath it, dissolving the material for food, then rooted itself in the ground. As it grew, the damutek continued to grow in size, eventually becoming the size of a major building. The star-shaped trunk was wide and strong enough to accommodate a variety of environments, and the roots of the damutek plunged deep into the earth to extract copious amounts of water for its own nourishment. At the heart of the damutek was a succession pool, used to process the wastes of its inhabitants.
