"Spit roast tip-yip! Seared Spiridian lizards! Crunchy Batuuan spider-roach!"
―The meat trader[1]

Spiridian lizards were a type of lizard that could be eaten as food.[1] By 382 BBY,[2] during the High Republic Era, a meat trader sold seared Spiridian lizards in the Holy City on[1] the Mid Rim[3] moon Jedha.[1] That year,[2] the trader was bored and listed seared Spiridian lizards among the food items they had for sale as a group of wargaran creatures were loose in the city.[1]

Behind the scenes

Spiridian lizards were mentioned in The High Republic: The Battle of Jedha, an audio drama written by George Mann[4] and released on January 3, 2023, as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's Phase II.[5] The spelling of the lizard's name was confirmed with the release of the audio drama's script,[1] published on February 14 of the same year.[5]
