Shellfish were small sea creatures. The largest of the shellfish native to the tropical planet Anantapar could fit inside the palm of a Human hand.[1] Shellfish came in a variety of colors, including green,[2] and were even painted for display.[3] Additionally, most of their species were edible by Humans,[2] though shellfish from Pamina Prime weren't; ingesting them could cause a fatal disease called Borotavi syndrome.
The Gungan species on Naboo evolved strong teeth to crush shellfish, which became a staple of their diet.[4] Naboo shellfish were served as an appetizer at the Indigo Tower and was one of Haydnat Treen's favorite dishes.
Some individuals believed rotten shellfish could cause hallucinations.[5]
The Sedrians of the planet Sedri used shellfish as components to create their unique melee weapons.[6]
