Salacious B. Crumb/Legends

"Eh! Academics. Publish or perish, publish or perish."

- Salacious Crumb (following Melvosh Bloor's demise)

Salacious B. Crumb was a Kowakian monkey-lizard employed as a court jester for interstellar crimelord Jabba the Hutt. Salacious was known for his shrill laugh, and sadistic sense of humor.

Salacious met Jabba when the Hutt's starship was docked at a spacestation. Salacious got on board and managed to get to Jabba's food. When Jabba, Bib Fortuna, and Bidlo Kwerve returned, Salacious threw Jabba's food at the Hutt's two henchmen, then began to run around the ship, wearing the bowl on his head like a helmet, with Fortuna and Kwerve chasing him. Eventually, Kwerve got so frustrated that he pulled his blaster on Crumb, but only some of the green substance came out, right at Fortuna's face. At first, Jabba tried to eat Salacious, but after a while of viewing Salacious' antics, Jabba laughed so much he physically shook. After calming his two subordinates, Jabba offered Salacious a deal: If he could make Jabba laugh once a day, Salacious could come live with him and get all the food he wanted. But if he failed even once, Jabba would eat him.

One example of the type of "jokes" he played was when he impersonated the late Darian Gli and lured two academics, Professor P'tan and Melvosh Bloor, into Jabba's Palace. They hoped to study him, but instead were eaten by the Sarlacc and rancor, respectively.

Salacious Crumb was shocked away from C-3PO by R2-D2 just before the destruction of Jabba's sail barge. He died in the explosion.
