Vonduun crab/Legends

The vonduun crab was a crab-like organism in the galaxy. They were used to shape the armor suits of the Yuuzhan Vong.
==History==
During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Jacen Solo and Corran Horn discovered that the bafforr trees of the planet Ithor could be used against the vonduun crab armor worn by the Yuuzhan Vong, as the crab was allergic to the pollen produced by the tree. This reaction would cause the vonduun crab to swell, killing the crab and anyone wearing it.
Vonduun crab armor was protected by the same energy field that an amphistaff carried, generated by a power gland. For this reason, it could withstand the atomic-diameter edge of an amphistaff, and even a lightsaber.
