Vixus/Legends

"That's not right."

- Hardcase, after witnessing a fellow trooper being devoured by the creature

A vixus was a stationary beast that resembled a sarlacc. They were native to the planet Umbara. They possessed large tentacles and sharp teeth. During a battle on Umbara, during the Clone Wars around 21 BBY, a clone trooper named Hardcase stepped on one of the vines; the vine retaliated by picking up Hardcase and swinging him about. Although it let Hardcase go, it picked up another trooper and despite the blaster shots it retrieved from the other clones, it chewed the clone up. However, it met its demise when it tried to eat another clone trooper by the name of Fives. Fives activated a grenade and tossed it to one of the vixus' tentacles which it then swallowed. The grenade exploded, killing the vixus and saving Fives. As the Republic campaign progressed Anakin Skywalker had to export Umbara since he was needed with Chancelor Palpatine,the 501st Legion were then under the command of a Besalisk Jedi named Pong Krell who had a reputation of extreme casualties when victorious.Eventually after three clones disobeyed Krell's orders and destroyed a Sepratist Supply Ship resulting in the death of one clone the other two clones were to be executed but to no avail.Krell then ordered an assault on the Umbaran Millita apparently wearing clone armour which turned out to be clone brothers killing each other.After learning that Krell had tricked the clones they began to persue Krell in order to arrest and question him,they followed him into the jungle were Tup found a Vixus and managed to persuade the traitorous General into one of the Vixuses vines.Krell escaped the Vixus and it was destroyed by Tup which then stunned Pong.
