Orbalisk

An orbalisk was a parasitic barnacle-like creature native to Dxun. This creature would form on a Human's skin and form a living armor on its victim. Darth Bane wore living armor made of orbalisks that had attached themselves to his body.



It is said that the orbalisk's armor is so durable that lightsabers have a hard time penetrating it, making a wearer basically immune to lightsaber attacks.

The only weakness to this armor is the joint at the neck and wrists, but these gaps are so small a lightsaber still cannot slice through.

Although they can be "worn" for protection, this is done so by allowing the orbalisks to bite the host which can cause minor bleeding. They can, in fact, be dangerous to the users as excessive numbers of the creatures would end up attempting to devour the host.

In an unralated note: There is a major flaw with the 5th Movie. Ben Kenobie says he was trained by Yoda, when in fact, he was the padawan of Qui-Gon.
