"Look at that one. He looks like a slime-gnome."
"Shush. He'll hear you."
"I'm not surprised with ears like that."

A slime-gnome[2] was a type of creature.[1] In 90 BBY,[3] a celebration was hosted on the planet Serenno by Gora, the Count of Serenno, and attended by the Jedi Grand Master Yoda. After observing Yoda, Gora's older son, Ramil, told his sister, Jenza, that the Jedi looked like a slime-gnome. Jenza, however, was concerned that the Jedi could hear them, to which Ramil answered that it would have been no surprise as Yoda had long ears.[1]

Dooku later recounted the incident in a holo-letter to Jenza.[1] Around 23 BBY,[4] Dooku displayed a holographic data disk that detailed the events around meeting his sister, including the conversation between Jenza and Ramil, to his recently-recruited Sith assassin, Asajj Ventress. The pair listened to the recording, after which Dooku gave Ventress several more disks for her investigation into Jenza's location.[1]

Behind the scenes

Slime-gnomes were mentioned in a flashback in the audio drama Dooku: Jedi Lost, written by Cavan Scott[1] and published on April 30, 2019.[5] The spelling of slime-gnome was confirmed by the audio drama's script release[6] on October 1 of the same year.[5]
