Biology and AppearanceEdit

The k'lor'slug was a large worm-like creature that possessed a serpentine body propelled by many dangerously-edged legs. The mouth was a gaping circular maw filled with concentric rings of teeth.

BehaviorEdit

K'lor'slugs were carnivorous hunters on their homeworld, possessing keen olfactory and visual senses in addition to a deadly venom. For reproduction, the creatures could lay more than 300 eggs in a single birthing period. When hatched, the young k'lor'slug was immediately ravenous for food. In addition to their aggressiveness, these creatures were considered pests aboard starships. They were known to invade the darkest spots on unsanitary space vehicles and breed. When dealing with more than 300 eggs hatching, an infestation aboard a space vehicle would become harder to control—and more potentially fatal—the longer it was tolerated.

SubspeciesEdit

There were at least two more distinct subspecies divisions found on Korriban: the Greater K'lor'slug and the Lesser K'lor'slug. The Lesser were composed of several variants:

-K'lor'slug Forager, which were one the weakest and smaller variants even though extremely aggressive. They are found near the Sith Academy on Korriban.

-K'lor'slug Hatchling,which are very similar, in appearance, to the Broodling variant but slightly stronger.

-K'lor'slug Broodling, which were the weakest of the species and could be find only inside the Tomb of Ajunta Pall.

-K'lor'slug Burrower, which were one of the variants also found on the Tomb of Ajunta Pall.

-K'lor'slug Crippler and K'lor'slug Slasher, which are very similar, in appearance, to the burrower variant but slightly stronger.

-Plump K'lor'slug Larva, which are the smallest variant but no less dangerous, they are newborns that are already violent and dangerous right after they leave the eggs.

-K'lor'slug Brood Mother, which are the and biggest strongest of the K'lor'slugs. They serve as matriarchs and were usually found protecting eggs along with the smaller larvas.

HistoryEdit

K'lor'slugs were known to the galaxy as early as the time of the Great War of the Old Republic. Because of their notoriety as an aggressive and deadly species, especially among the spacers who encountered them aboard their starships, they were used as a holomonster playing piece in the popular strategy game, dejarik.

Behind the scenesEdit

The k'lor' slugs in Star Wars: The Old Republic feature a few significant differences with the dejarik piece seen in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. In the movie, the face of the k'lor' slug was depicted as rather snake-like, while in the game it's a gaping maw without distnguishable eyes or nostrils.
