"Whistling's bad luck. They say the nebula-crawlers will hear ya."
"Come on. You don't believe in that, do you?"
"You know the old captain died? He was a whistler too. Till a crawler slipped in his exhaust and got him right in the neck!"
"I thought Stringer killed the old captain."
"Alright, fine. It's just annoying."
―Pirate to Rokana Raider[1]

A nebula-crawler was a type of creature that was supposedly attracted by whistling. While guarding the Khepi Tomb[1] in 3 ABY,[2] a humanoid member of the Rokana Raiders asked another pirate to stop whistling, claiming that it could attract nebula-crawlers and that they killed the previous captain of the raiders. When corrected about the fate of the old captain the raider admitted that they just found it annoying.[1]
