Kreetle

A parasitic, burrowing insect native to Tatooine, the kreetle was often found in cities, homes, and other urban areas. It was equipped with five legs, a tough reddish-brown exoskeleton, and large mandibles. Giving birth to young in the form of maggots, kreetles thrived on garbage and vegetal remains, and could often be found in abandoned profogg burrows. Despite their small size, kreetles were agressive insects, but posed little threat to travelers in the large cities they colonized near. Overkreetles are the obvious exception, extremely large kreetles, capable of killing any amateur fighter in the wilderness. Luckily, overkreetles are rarely found near the proximity of a city.

Kreetles were also found on Naboo, possibly brought there after having stowed away upon ships departing from Tatooine.
