Viper wasps were indigenous to Yavin 4. These stinging insects lived inside of vines and would swarm if disturbed. The viper wasp's venom, in significant quantities, could cause cramps, diarrhea, yellowing of the eyes, numbness of the extremities, pustules on the mucus membranes, and hormone disruption. Smoke could be used to drive the insects away.
Biggs Darklighter accidentally cut the vines of a viper wasp hive while searching the forest for a cure for Derek Klivian. A smoke grenade saved him from their attack without any serious injuries.
