Kubaza beetle

Kubaza beetles were hive-minded insects native to the volcanic world of Mustafar. They survived by eating raw, highly unstable materials that were commonly used in the production of explosives. When mixed with oxygen, these materials could cause very strong explosions, turning the beetles into living bombs.

Kubaza beetles were aggressive and even swarmed down larger animals such as Tulruses. They defended their nests savagely.

A large population of Kubaza beetles lived in the Kubaza Beetle Cavern on the side of the central volcano.
