Flit Flits were non - sentient flying reptiles native to the planet Lok . They had thick hides and extremely sharp beaks as well as a number of poisonous barbs , making them a dangerous predator . Flits were also found on Ord Mantell ' s Tansarii Point Station and the prison world Despayre . On Lok , the reptavians were hunted and used for meat , but they could also be tamed and made into effective fighters . One such tamed flit won the blood sport competition at the opening of the Aerie Casino on Naboo in 1 ABY . Biology and appearance . Flits were non - sentient , flying reptiles usually growing a wingspan greater than the height of a tall Wookiee . They had two smaller limbs with sharp claws for grabbing . Flits had thick hides , very sharp beaks — orange at the peak but fading in color toward the head — and a small tuft on the back of their neck . Their plumage was a mix of blue and green shades . They also had dorsal barbs tipped with a powerful poison . A small prick from the barbs was capable of felling a grown Human . There was some variety within the flit species , such as flit harassers , flit bloodsuckers , and giant flits . These differed in strength and size . Flits attacked in swarms , swooping around their prey , alternately advancing and retreating . They were particularly effective attacking at night , when it was much harder to avoid them . Despite their savagery , flits could be tamed . History . Flits were indigenous to the planet Lok , located in the Karthakk sector of the Mid Rim . There , they were found around the barren land surrounding the stronghold of the pirate Nym during the early years of the Galactic Civil War . Despite the danger posed by the flits , the locals hunted their meat and used their bones . Elsewhere in the Mid Rim , flits were also found aboard Tansarii Point Station , which orbited Ord Mantell of the Bright Jewel Oversector . The Sullustan hunter Wyle Artis sought to hire a spacer to hunt some flits and scyk s for him in the Tansarii Point atrium , offering credits and a necklace for successfully completing the job . Flits were also found on Despayre , located in the Atrivis sector of the Outer Rim Territories . They occasionally infiltrated the perimeter fences of the Imperial prison compounds stationed planetside , causing a threat to the residents there . All the flits on Despayre perished with the destruction of the planet by the first Death Star that occurred in 0 BBY . In 1 ABY , a trained flit harasser was entered into the blood sport competition that marked the opening of the Aerie Casino on Naboo . Trained by a Trandoshan , the reptavian eventually won the competition , defeating a Dathomiri malkloc in the final round by landing on its back and stabbing its sharp beak deep into the malkloc ' s neck . Behind the scenes .
