Artery worm

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The artery worm was a tiny, vicious worm native to Dathomir. During the time of the Galactic Republic, the Witches of Dathomir raised artery worms to feed to their victims. When ingested, an artery worm would burrow through its host's veins, "turning them to molten fire" (according to the Witches) as it digested them. These creatures are also used by bounty hunters and criminals as a quick way to get rid of an enemy quietly.
