Star Wars Species Question

[Mace MacLeod]

Okay, before I spend another three hours leafing through wookieepedia, are there any star wars species that eats humans? I mean, preferentially? And ideally they should be barely known, primitive, small and cute. Ewoks do eat meat, so they might do, but jawas only eat stuff called hubba gourds according to wookieepedia. I don't want to use noghri, jawas or ewoks as I think they've all been done to death.

 

The Atton idea went nowhere, but I have a new fic idea.

All I can think of is this one blue humanoid kind of species that hypnotizes you, and then sucks out your brain through your nostrils with these little tube things on their face. I read about it somewhere, though I can't remember what they're called for the life of me. Anyway, that's all I can think of.

They're called Anzati.

what about those things in kotor that hunt the jedi? terantek or something. jedi are humans, so i guess that might be a possible one.

[HerbieZ]

Do a story about me, i eat noodles and milk lollies.

[RC-1162]

milk lollies? YUCK!

i think the insane Selkath from K1 would be a good example, since all the survivors there say that their friends were killed and eaten by the Selkath.

[TSR]

but i don't thnink they do that as a normal way of life. i mean, they were crazy afterall. i guess anything could eat a human were it insane/hungry enough, but not as a main source of food.

[RC-1162]

i'd agree with that. well, then i dont know of any others.

what about rancors? they also eat Twileks, Rodians, Bith and many others, including humans

[milo]

Sarlaacs will eat anything too. Hmm, sorry Mace, but there don't seem to be too many species that are cute and cuddly and eat humans.

[RC-1162]

though, from a dark sider's point of view, i think a terentatek would be soooo cute

answer is simple.......a species of tall skeletal beings, take their prisoners and eat them, as a sacrifice to their gods, the species is called Xo. Look em up on wookiepeedia

[TSR]

if it was simple, we would have easily come up with the answer

anywya, wookiepedia didnt seem to have anything detailed about the xo, so i'd need more info if i were to agree

[RC-1162]

you can always make up your own race, Mace_Macleod

Actually, according to wookieepedia, the species are called Zanibar from the planet Xo.

You know you should do? Make up your own viscious yet cute animal. It not only solves your problem, but it's fun, too.

[RC-1162]

now doesnt that sound remarkably like my idea?

[TSR]

yes. no-one's come up with that one before...

[Mace MacLeod]

I know I could just make up the race, but when it comes to the fanfic I think part of the challenge is using the existing races. This is why I like the challenge: there's a big universe full of myriad characters and races; where can I sneak something original in? Just like when I asked about the various Star Wars booze and drugs before I wrote my last fic. It's an idea that was kicking around and I appreciate the responses. I've actually started writing another one about the far future of Taris, and between that and my efforts on Darkkender's new mod project, my creative juices should be getting quite a workout. Thanks, and for the folks who read my previous efforts (yes, all four of you ) there's another bun in the oven.
