Space slugs are a staple of cantina tales told by pilots, but these monstrous creatures are more than legends, as Han Solo and the crew of the Millennium Falcon discovered while seeking refuge from the Empire in Hoth’s asteroid belt.

The Corellian had unwittingly flown down the gullet of a massive space slug, which tried to devour the Falcon as the ship fled.
