- ―Onyx
Blixus were large non-sentient carnivorous cephalopods from an unknown planet of origin. During the Clone Wars, one such creature was kept on the Zygerrian slave vessel owned by Captain Onyx. When the vessel was attacked by a group of Jedi and clone troopers, Onyx released the blixus to kill them. The creature managed to kill several clones, but was defeated by the Jedi. Separatist commander Darts D'Nar also had a blixus on his ship, the Tecora. Blixus could also withstand the vacuum of space.
