Crast, also called food-kin, were a race of crustaceans from Pria. They had a symbiotic relationship with the Priapulins. Crast eggs began to be incubated after being digested by a Priapulin. The Crast were willing to act as Priapulin food, and in return Priapulins cared for their children.
Crast must be consumed by Priapulins before their children spoil.[1]
In 29 BBY, 12 year old Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker and Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi encountered the Crast aboard the Star Sea Flower. The Crast took a particular liking towards Skywalker. Charza Kwinn, the Priapulin on board, said that the Crast felt Skywalker was safe and that he posed a rare attraction for them. Skywalker, able to understand some of their communication, remarked that they were very smart creatures relative to their size and they were proud that Kwinn chose to eat them and only them.[1]
