Rock warts,[1] also spelled rock-wart,[3] were a species of venomous parasites[1] that could be found on Tatooine.[2] They had eight legs and four eyes.[1] Within their sting and bite, the rock warts of Tatooine possessed a painful neurotoxic venom,[2] and the rock warts used their toxic bite to kill their target before laying their eggs in his or her body.[1] Rockwart venom could kill much larger prey.[2] The venom was used in the preparation of a powder utilized by assassins.[4]
