Slobbers was a tame kusak that lived on Lok at the time of the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, the beast was part of a pack of ten kusaks, including Bedhead, Blinky, Scarecrow, Runt, Troubles, Wart Face, Gargle, Ding and Speedbump, trained by the Lok Revenants to guard Nym's Stronghold.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] an adventurer fed the creature with Lokkian weed. Slobbers only liked a special kind of weed, so the adventurer had to collect and try different plants to find the one Slobbers preferred.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Slobbers appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] Slobbers was added to the game as part of the revamped "Nym's Theme Park",[1] released with the "Game Update 16," on March 23, 2010.[4]
The kusak was part of the "Caring for the Kusaks" collection. Each time a player finished the "Weed Whacker Foliage Requisition" quest, the player was rewarded with one of ten different kinds of Lokian weed. These could be used to feed the kusaks, but each of the ten different kusaks in or near the stronghold only accepted one randomly determined kind of weed.[1]

Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Collection: "Caring for the Kusaks"
- ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
