- "Is this about the shipping barons from Kuat? Because let me tell you, they were the ones who insisted on ordering the cuttle-tick. My people warned them that the carapace was venomous and just part of the presentation."
- ―Toro Sbazzle, to Lando Calrissian
The cuttle-tick was an edible creature that had a venomous carapace.[1] In 3 ABY,[2] the Devaronian Executive Chef Torro Sbazzle served cuttle-tick to a group of shipping barons from[1] the planet[3] Kuat, her staff warning them that the carapace was for show and not to be eaten. The barons had insisted on ordering the dish and while Sbazzle made it for them, she was worried that they might ingest the venom by mistake. Sbazzle later recounted the incident to her employer, the Baron Administrator of Cloud City, Lando Calrissian.[1]
