"Dozoisian Snark Venom. Deadly if it passes your lips. Nice try, Hat Lo."
―Boba Fett[3]

Dozoisian Snark Venom was a venom[3] originating from the Dozoisia system[1][2] that was in use during the Clone Wars. It would kill a Human once it passed their lips. When mixed with liquids, it would fizz. When the venom would be spilled, an acrid smell and a greenish flame could be seen, and a sizzling noise could be heard.[3] In 19 BBY,[4] the crime lord Hat Lo tried to kill the young bounty hunter Boba Fett by having his[3] enslaved consort Ayy Vida[5] give him a drink which included Dozoisian Snark Venom. However, Fett immediately recognized that and spilled the drink. Lo feigned surprise at Fett's identification of the venom.[3]

Behind the scenes

The venom appeared in Boba Fett: Pursuit, a novel written by Elizabeth Hand and published in 2004.[3]

(backup link) (screenshot) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas, stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. Given this principle, this article makes a similar basic assumption for the Dozoisian Snark Venom in relation to the Dozoisia system.
