Rodian rot-worm

The Rodian rot-worm was a parasitic worm^[1] that shared its name with Rodia, a planet of jungle and oceans^[2] located in the Savareen sector of the Outer Rim Territories,^[3] as well as its native Rodian species of sentient^[2] reptilians.^[4] Its name was also similar to that of rotworms, which lived on the swamp planet Dagobah^[5] in the Outer Rim's Sluis sector.^[2] By 3630 BBY,^[6] excretions from drutash grubs^[1] that could be found on the planet Sullust^[7] in the Outer Rim's Brema sector^[8] were being used in folk medicine to cure parasitic infections such as that caused by the Rodian rot-worm.^[1]
