- "One razor bug is a nuisance. Three might leave you scarred. Five will flay you alive."
- ―Jaina Solo[src]
Razor bugs were projectile biots used by the Yuuzhan Vong.
Shaped from the sparkbee, the razor bug was a relative of the nang hul, but served a different purpose. Essentially living knives, razor bugs had carapaces that were capable of shredding flesh and piercing certain types of armor. They also had the homing capabilities of the thud bug, as well as a vapid tenaciousness to continue attacking a target until either it or the razor bug was subdued.
Following the Yuuzhan Vong War they became outlawed, but were still used by such underworld types as Jariah Syn.
