Geeot Nuetia

"It was 50 meters tall! It had fangs growing out of its back! Its back ridges were razor sharp! I only survived because of my lucky thermal detonator!""

―Geeot Nuetia^[1]

Geeot Nuetia was an individual who lived at the time of the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, Nuetia went on a hunting trip to Dathomir where he encountered a Bane Back spider,^[1] a larger^[2] mutated variant^[1] of gaping spider.^[2] When he returned, Geeot Nuetia told in the sensationalist Corellian newspaper Coronet Gossip a story about a 50-meter tall spider that attacked him on Dathomir. Nuetia pretended that he killed it with a thermal detonator. Later, a journalist went to Dathomir to learn more about the creature but the only pieces he found were comparable to a spider that was merely 2-3 meters tall.^[1]
