Mutant acklay
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The mutant acklay was a variety of amphibious acklay native to Geonosis that had been mutated by the toxins of Golbah's Pit. Many lived under the waters of the Ebon Sea, where they hunted creatures within the sea and surfaced to attack prey on land. Mutant acklays were hardier than standard acklays, and had heavier claws. Their shells were a glossy black.
During 1 ABY, a spacer killed a mutant acklay near the Geonosian Bio-Lab on Yavin IV, using part of its carcass as a trophy.
