Reeksa was a carnivorous plant native to Iego, with sharpened spikes for teeth and deadly thorns along the length of their stalks.
History
A reeksa root
Reeksa roots were necessary for the production of the Blue Shadow Virus antidote. Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker traveled to Iego to retrieve it. Whilst exhuming the root, the plant attacked the two Jedi, but after severing two attacking heads, the pair managed to escape.[1]
Behind the scenes
It should be noted that after several of the plant's "heads" are cut off, they are seen to continue to bite as they fall.[1]
Originally, the xandu appearing in the episode was to have been devoured by the reeksa vines.[2]
