- "The blue-finned crayfish is a fearsome warrior. Not just because its claws are sharper than the bristles on ma lip… but also because it's as slippery as a shiverpede taking an afternoon dip!"
- ―Skoova Stev
The blue-finned crayfish was a species of crustacean endemic to the Outer Rim planet Koboh. The species was particularly elusive. At one point, priorite prospectors thought to capture the rare creature to sell at a high price. Their failures made many declare the species a myth. However, the blue-finned crayfish simply evaded capture by clinging to the underside of rocks and disguising itself by flowing with the water. If spotted, the creature still evaded capture due to its hydrodynamic body, which allowed it to be extremely slippery, and its sharp claws.
In 9 BBY,[2] the Sakavian fisherman Skoova Stev who resided on Koboh, caught a blue-finned crayfish at a bygone settlement in Rambler's Reach Outpost by covering his suit in grease as a way to combat the slipperiness of the creature. The crustacean was later added to the aquarium in Pyloon's Saloon.[1]
