Hutt's cry

A "Hutt's cry" was a slang term used during the time of the Galactic Republic to describe the sound made when a batch of worm-like k'lor'slugs hatched from their eggs. The term originated from an incident that occured around the year 3,741 BBY, when a hunter named Riegenn Hetuu accidently unleashed a hoard of newly-hatched k'lor'slugs from his ship's cargo bay while on the planet Hutta. When released, the k'lor'slugs devoured both Hetuu and his Hutt client, who had hired Hetuu to capture a live k'lor'slug queen. Hetuu had not taken the creature's high reproductive rate into account, which led to the death of the Hutt. The term was still used around the year 3,641 BBY.

Behind the scenes
The term "Hutt's cry" was first mentioned in Star Wars: The Old Republic, a 2011 MMORPG produced by BioWare. The term was mentioned in the k'lorslug codex entry, which could be found by players who killed the k'lor'slug broodwatcher in the tomb of the Sith Lord Ajunta Pall on the planet Korriban.
