Steelpecker

These tough, ornery Jakku avians are drawn to metal, which they break apart with their iron beaks and then devour. Steelpeckers collect vanadium, osmiridium and corundum in their gizzards, with the resulting chemical stew helping break down their metallic meals. Jakku’s scavengers steer clear of steelpecker colonies, which can overwhelm intruders with razor-sharp talons and beaks.
