Diet

An organism's diet referred to what forms of food it chose to eat. Forms of diet included herbivore and carnivore.^[1]

Carnivores were flesh-eaters. They included non-sentients such as the krayt dragon,^[2] and the colo claw fish from Naboo,^[3] but also sentient species such as the Zabraks^[4] and the Pau'ans.^[5] Carnivorous diets were common in cold environments, due to the lack of plantlife.^[6]

Herbivorous lifeforms such as the bantha, the ikopi, the happabore, and the shaak, fed on plants.^[6]

Omnivores were organisms that fed on both plant and animal matter. Reeks were large, muscular omnivores native to the planet Ylesia that, while herbivorous by nature, could survive on meat.^[7] The vulptices of Crait dug the salt crust of their world for small mammals and tubers.^[8]

Some species, like certain birds on Jelucan,^[9] and the crab gliders native to the gas giant Bespin, were carrion-eaters, feeding on refuse and other decaying organic matter.^[10]

Some species were energy-eaters. The conduit worms fed off the electrical wiring of starships,^[11] and the mynocks absorbed electrical, stellar and electromagnetic energy using their mouths.^[12]
