Space slugs are a fictional species of gastropod found in the Star Wars movie series, role-playing game, and books. They are a silicon based lifeform that feed on another race of silicon based animal called a Mynock. Space slugs generally make their habitats in asteroids, where they permanently spend their lives. This is due to the fact that their "tail" is actually like a system of roots that tie into the innards of the asteroid. Many space slugs have been found in the Hoth Asteroid Field, some that were hundreds of feet long and dubbed "titan". They have been known to actually eat sections of an Imperial Star Destroyer when they skim too close to a slug's grasp.
