Hutt's cry

A "Hutt's cry" was a slang term used during the time of the Galactic Republic to describe the sound made when a batch of worm-like k'lor'slugs hatched from their eggs. The term originated from an incident that occurred around the year 3743 BBY, is a codex entry that can be found in Star Wars: The Old Republic, which takes place roughly ten to twelve years after the Treaty of Coruscant according to The Old Republic lead writer, Daniel Erickson. Since the Treaty of Coruscant was signed in 3653 BBY according to The Old Republic: Deceived, this places the events of the game at approximately 3643 BBY to 3640 BBY. This article uses the date of 3643 BBY as an approximate date, which would place Hetuu's death around 3743 BBY, but the actual date could be different. when a hunter named Riegenn Hetuu was hired by a Hutt to capture a live k'lor'slug queen. Hetuu had not taken the creature's high reproductive rate into account, and a hoard of nearly four hundred k'lor'slugs hatched in his ship's cargo bay by the time he arrived on the planet Hutta. When he opened the cargo bay to show his client his prize, the released k'lor'slugs devoured both Hetuu and his Hutt client. The term was still used around the year 3643 BBY.
