Watchbeast

Watchbeasts were immense worm-like creatures native to the planet, Devaron. They possessed vestigial legs that aided them in the purposes of borrowing, and two large pincers that grew from above their brow.

A weapons merchant named, Orion Ferret, once acquired a Watchbeast, which he named Caesar. He was able to successfully domesticate Caesar by way of a sonic pacifier. Some time during the Galactic Civil War, Orion deposited the Watchbeast on the garbage world of Patch-4. Orion used the wastelands of the planet for the purpose of concealing valuables and realized that the Watchbeast would make an adequate guardian to prevent scavengers from uncovering his wares.

Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian purchased four black market Imperial TIE fighters from Orion and arrived on Patch-4 to pick them up. The Watchbeast, Caesar rose up from beneath the ground and attacked them. Luke learned about Ferret’s sonic pacifier and retrieved it from their borrowed shuttlecraft. He was able to use it to put Caesar to sleep.
