Shakloom

The Shakloom is a large, aquatic creature found on the planet Acquara. It appears in the Farscape episode "Jeremiah Crichton."
Reminiscent of a crustacean, the Shakloom has a long tail, six legs, and two antennae. It is hunted for food, and while John Crichton is stranded on Acquara, he catches and kills a baby Shakloom; Rokon warns him not to take them smaller than that.
Its meat makes for particularly good jerky and is considered a delicacy by Hynerians.Farscape: The Illustrated Companion, p. 159 Grondeer Kato-Re gifts Rygel a plate of Shakloom jerky at the end of the episode.
