Colicoids were a sentient insectoid species from Colla IV. They were carnivorous, and sometimes cannibalistic. Colicoids wishing to protect themselves were capable of forming themselves into a tight ball, an ability they emulated when designing the droideka, which they produced in their image. When the Trade Federation made their first purchase of droidekas, they paid with fifty shiploads of exotic flesh. The Colicoids had a strong dislike for the Jedi, something which intensified after the Invasion of Naboo.
Colicoids were known to occasionally stop any travelers going through their system and eat them. After the Battle of Naboo, the Colicoids took control of the spice mining operations on Kessel hoping to establish a strong inflow of credits. They also tried to acquire the rights to a spice processing plant on Nar Shaddaa but they had to deal with the slaver Krayn to obtain them. When the Clone Wars broke out, the Colicoids joined the Separatists, and provided them with many droid designs, including the droid tri-fighter and the Colicoid Annihilator droid. The Colicoids were the founders of the Colicoid Creation Nest amongst other companies.
