Jakolusad

Jakolusads were large protozoan organisms native to the polar regions of Gabbshu. The main body, or core, of the jakolusad was an amoeba-like structure buried beneath the soil. Two protrusions extended above the ground: a long, thin, bioluminescent stalk used to attract prey, and a large worm-like harpoon that stabbed lifeforms that were attracted to the light stalk. Jakolusads were considered dangerous by many species and an illicit eradication program was initiated approximately 8 ABY; following the discovery of this program by the Alliance of Sentient Races, Jakolusads were protected by law.
