Dybbuk

Dybbuk was a fleshy, star-shaped yellow-green parasitic creature used by the Galactic Republic to subdue violent criminals in the High Republic Era. Measuring 0.25 metres in width, the parasite would affect the user's mind by latching onto another organisms mouth and induce an altered state of consciousness while making a squelching sound. 
In 132 BBY, aboard the Republic prisoner transport Palwick heading to the galactic capital Coruscant, the parasite was used to subdue a human convict. During an escape attempt aboard the ship causing the ship to drop out of hyperspace near the snowy planet Carlac, meknek Osha Aniseya used her repair droid Pip to electrocute the parasite latched to the convict. The electric shock caused the dybbuk to release its grip on the convict, freeing him and leaving the dybbuk chittering while escaping the ship into space before the ship entered Carlac's atmosphere and crash-landed.
