"You're worse than a kriffing zucca pig!"
Dessel's father insulting his son[3]

The zucca boar or zucca pig was a large pig species native to the planet Tatooine.[1] A muscular beast, it was slightly larger than the average womp rat, but not nearly as dexterous.[4] Although the creature was herbivorous,[1] it had thick skin and dangerous tusks.[4] Nevertheless, the animal was often considered as as an example of easy prey.[3][5]

History

"For dessert, Zucca Fruit Pastries. No common zucca meat, get a wild boar. I'd say you could go buy some, but Jabba won't eat something we paid for."
Porcellus[6]

During the Galactic Civil War, Jabba the Hutt's cook, Porcellus, used zucca meat to make zucca fruit pastry.[6]

In 1 ABY, the proprietors of the Aerie Casino featured an animal fight between a zucca boar and a womp rat as part of their grand-opening celebration. The womp rat, though smaller, won the contest.[4]

The comparison to a zucca pig was also used as an insult.[3]

Behind the scenes

Zucca boars appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[7]
