- "You cannot insult me any more than a Haagust reekbeetle can insult a slumbering acklay."
"Am I… a smelly insect in this metaphor?"
"For twenty credits, all will be revealed."
"Oh, you are good." - ―Tulakt and Moran
The Haagust reekbeetle was a type of pungent beetle.[1] In 9 BBY,[2] the former smuggler Moran suggested to the fortune teller Tulakt that she was conning the prospectors of the planet Koboh with her fortunes, clarifying that he did not mean it as an insult to her. Tulakt then dismissed the comment, claiming that he could insult her no more than a reekbeetle would be able to insult a sleeping acklay,[1] a type of large and dangerous Vendaxan predator.[3] When Moran asked if he was the insect in the metaphor, Tulakt only offered to reveal the answer for twenty credits, which Moran appreciated.[1]
