"The dark side is cloying, like yista bugs burrowing under your skin and slowly sickening you."
―Sember Vey[1]

Yista bugs were a species of creature capable of burrowing under a being's skin and causing illness afterwards.[1] In 22 BBY,[2] Jedi Master Sember Vey likened the effects of the dark side of the Force to the behavior of yista bugs.[1]
