Urusai

Urusai were a type of reptavian that was native to the desert planet Tatooine. They were blue and yellow in color and possessed four wings. Urusai shared a symbiotic relationship with the sarlacc species, although they would eat paired sets of sarlaccs in the spore stage of their life cycle as they emerged from the desert sands. Those sarlacc that did reach adulthood and bury themself in the sand then benefited from bold urusai that kept the sarlacc's teeth and tentacles clean in exchange for food.
Galactic Society of Creature Enthusiasts Director of Creature Cartography Ardis San Tekka mentioned urusai when writing about sarlaccs in her journal at some point after the Battle of Exegol in 35 ABY.Star Wars Bestiary, Vol. 1: Creatures of the Galaxy describes the clone of Darth Sidious as having perished prior to its writing. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the clone's death at the Battle of Exegol to 35 ABY, it must take place after this date.
