Yit-Yat

The Yit-Yat are a highly evolved insectoid species that resides on the planet Dagobah. The only known and recorded run-in with these creatures is from a journal of an ancient Jedi that was also a planetary biologist. He was exploring the terrain one day when he came across a large swamp creature eating. After a few minutes of observation, the Jedi heard a strange sound. Out of nowhere the large insect appeared and within seconds had killed the large swamp creature and dragged it off showing unbelievable strength. The sound it made while attacking the creature was kind a high pitched "YIT-YAT" sound and thus the name.





Levaquan (Horror of The Deep)

This large creature is from the planet Pevick-5, a small ocean planet on the Outer Rim. The culture of warrior type aquatic creatures (the Diterorians) keeps a lot of civilizations from making contact. It is only lately that any kind of relations have been made with the creatures. They began space travel and realized quickly that they would benefit from trading with other cultres. The Levaquan, a large creature of god-like legend, had terrorized these creatures for millions of years, attacking their underwater cities and destroying entire communities in a single attack. When the Diterorians become technologically advanced in the last couple thousand years they started to figure out ways to kill the large Levaquan. In only a few hundred years, the creatures were thought to be extinct. Many hundered ayears had passed and the Diterorians had found space travel and made an alliance with the Old Republic. The last of the Levaquan was found while a research group was mapping the very depths of the planet core. The creatures all along had found refuge in vents that led near the warm interior of the planet. Not wanting to kill the last of the planets greatest creatures they used stun weapons to drag the creature to a large ship where he could be transported to Coruscant and taken to Aquatica also known as the galactic aquatic wildlife and game perserve. It is a large closed off section of the planet that serves as a sort of animal preservation. It covers about 150 SQ miles.
