Vixus

"That's not right!"

- Clone Trooper Hardcase, after witnessing a vixus devour a clone

A Vixus was a Sarlacc-like creature that lived on the planet of Umbara. A Vixus would use its vine-like tentacles to detect prey, and then grab the prey and pull it into its maw. A three-fingered tentacle-like appendage could be extended from its mouth; and with this, it would seize its food, and draw it in.

History
During the Battle of Umbara, clone trooper Hardcase tripped over what appeared to be a vine, which was in actuality a vixus tentacle, awakening the creature and causing it to attack the nearby clones. When the monster grabbed Fives, he threw a Thermal Detonator into its maw, soon detonating and killing the vixus in the process. Later, when the clones tried to stop Pong Krell, Tup was able to lure the Jedi traitor torwards the monster, resulting in Krell being shaken down by the monster and stunned by Tup.
