Sarlacc
An omnivorous, multi-tentacled
creature with a worm-like beak and needle-sharp teeth, the
Sarlacc lives at the bottom of a deep sand hole called the Great
Pit of Carkoon in the wastelands of the planet Tatooine's Dune Sea.
The Sarlacc's huge mouth--more than
2.5 meters in diameter--seems always open, waiting to be fed. It
is lined with three rows of sharply pointed teeth, all pointing
inward to keep food trapped inside. It snatches unfortunate
victims with its tentacles, dragging them into its mucous-coated
mouth.
Local legend has it that victims die
a slow and painful death in the belly of the Sarlacc, since its
digestive juices take 1,000 years to fully break down its meals.
Crime lord Jabba the Hutt often uses the
Sarlacc as a sort of opponent disposal--but all it takes is
picking the wrong opponent once.
The Sarlacc has consumed many a mighty warrior, including the bounty hunter, Boba Fett.
