Granite slug/Legends

The granite slug was a silica parasite native to the planet Coruscant.
==History==
Granite slugs were introduced to the planet Coruscant's undercity in 335 BBY in an attempt by the Galactic Republic to clean up the profuse amount of garbage that existed there. The large amount of food materials resulted in a rapid growth in granite slug population, which resulted in increased "cleanliness" in the city, but also resulted in a population increase among the predator populations as well.The Jedi Academy Sourcebook
