- "Not all the Moffs are pleased I am Emperor, Veed especially. They are gravel maggots waiting to feed."
- ―Darth Krayt to Darth Wyyrlok
Gravel-maggots were worms found in the badlands of the planet Tatooine. They were known to feed on rotting flesh of other creatures. Despite the obscurity of Tatooine, gravel-maggots were infamous throughout the galaxy, and it was a common if uncreative insult to call someone "gravel-maggot" or the "son of a gravel-maggot."[2]
