- "Slithery little creatures that merely make you shiver and squirm at first, but once they start stinging… forget it!"
- ―Chelli Lona Aphra describes wasp-worms
Wasp-worms (also spelled as waspworms)[3] were a type of worm that resided in hives on the planet Vrogas Vas, although they were not native to the planet. During a battle on the planet, Han Solo and Doctor Aphra became covered in wasp-worms after shooting a pair of hives. This led the two humans to panic and run into each other, leading both to lose consciousness.[1] When Solo awoke, he was displeased to find that he was covered in "wasp juice," which had stained his clothing.[3]
Behind the scenes
Wasp-worms first appeared in Star Wars (2015) 13, the third installment of Star Wars: Vader Down, a crossover comic book between the series Star Wars and the series Darth Vader. Star Wars 13 was written by Jason Aaron and penciled by Mike Deodato, Jr.[1]
