A rain skink was a type of poisonous amphibian found on the planet Siline. After rain, they crawled out of certain trees and secreted a venomous oil through their skin.[1] In 134 BBY,[2] while traveling through the arena where the survival level of the Crowning Convocation coming-of-age ritual was held on Siline, the Silinese Rhos Arthyst told Jedi Padawan Jecki Lon about rain skinks, and their group watched for puddles that could be hiding them.[1]
Behind the scenes
Rain skinks were mentioned in The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown, a 2025 young-adult novel by Tessa Gratton.[1]

Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown
- ↑ The events of The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown take place in 134 BBY per the following reasoning. The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown establishes that Jecki Lon is the Padawan of Sol and Yord Fandar has yet to undertake his Jedi Trials. The novel also states that Lon has been Sol's Padawan for at least two years, as well as that Sol had not taken a Padawan for years after his former Padawan, Verosha Aniseya, left the Jedi Order. From this, at least four years have passed since Aniseya left the Order. "Lost / Found"—the events of which take place in 132 BBY per the reasoning here—establishes Aniseya left the Order six years before its events, equating to 138 BBY. The episode further states Fandar passed his Jedi Trials two years before its events, meaning he must have passed his Trials in 134 BBY.
