[edit] History
Reeksa roots were necessary for the production of the Blue Shadow Virus antidote. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker traveled to Iego to retrieve it. While digging it up, the plant attacked the two Jedi, but after severing two attacking heads, the pair managed to escape.
[edit] Behind the scenes
The Reeksa plant strongly resemble a large scale Venus Flytrap.
It should be noted that after several of the plants "heads" are cut off, they are seen to continue to bite as they fall, indicating their jaws still work and will still bite even when the organism is dead, though only for a short while.
