- "These things aren't native to this planet; they're a laboratory hybrid from an Ithorian root-source, genetically enhanced for a zero-moisture environment."
"The Empire seeded them here? What good are they?"
"They're not any 'good' at all. They exude bio-toxins with a molecular breakdown rate that can be measured in centuries. The levels eventually get high enough to kill them off as well. But by then the entire surface crust of this planet will be riddled with their poison-filled bore holes. There're some refugee colonies of Gholondreine-β natives on the surrounding system worlds, but they won't be coming back to their homeworld for a long time. Palpatine's seen to that." - ―Boba Fett and Bossk
Ithorian crawlers were organisms that were used to poison the arid land of Gholondreine-β by the Galactic Empire after they drained the planet's oceans.[2]
