The liver was an edible internal organ found in many non-sentient creatures and sentient humanoid species. While a type of food that Ewoks did not like,[2] Nikto ate Human livers,[3] and many species enjoyed the livers of other creatures.[4] The liver was one of the primary organs for processing alcohol,[5] but heavy doses of alcoholic substances could damage it.[6] If the liver failed completely, one could die.[7] Fortunately for those with liver trouble, livers could be cloned,[6] grafted,[8] and genetically enhanced.[5]
Devaronians[9] and Zeltrons[10] were examples of sentient humanoids who had two livers, which allowed them to enjoy a larger number of alcoholic beverages than other humanoids.
