"Now, time for the soup. Jabba likes a good beetle broth. He calls it stew, but actually it's broth. We need beetle carcasses. For flavor I'd say about 15. Rock or cave beetles. Either one."
Porcellus[3]

Rock beetles were six-legged insects that lived in the deserts of Tatooine.[1] A large population of rock beetles was known to live in an area known as Rock Beetle Refuge. The cook Porcellus used rock beetle and cave beetle carcasses to make beetle broth for his master, Jabba Desilijic Tiure.[3]

Rock beetles appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[4] Rock beetles were almost identical to rockmites, cave beetles, sand beetles and dune beetles, using the same base model with different textures.[1]
