- "It's a trap! An end to our pleasurable days!"
- ―The elder ecorb
This elder ecorb was a being that, according to a story known to every ecorb, lived in the Detral Pits during a period known to them as the "Mercurial and Long Time Away From Here Times," before coiled shell-like hampas sprouted on their heads. This elder ecorb was particularly vocal against the eating of a species of orange and blue flower, that turned out to have harmful side effects when overdosed: the emergence of painfully constricting hampas.[1]
Behind the scenes
This ecorb was mentioned in a one-page story titled "How the Ecorb Got Its Hampa" written by Bob Carrau for the 1993 book Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas, a publication that collects concept designs and photographs from various George Lucas projects.[1] Lucasfilm employee Leland Chee, who maintains the Holocron continuity database, has indicated that information contained in the book is non-canonical.[2]
