Well, it's rather brutal here. Right now we are advising all our clients to put everything they've got into slughtrowers and food tins.
—Mr. Tunnels, describing the current market on Elom
Tunnels, more commonly known as Mr. Tunnels, was an Elomin trillionaire that made his fortune by investing in slugthrowers and food tins. He lived in the Chateau du Corell where he kept his treasure in a hidden vault. Mr. Tunnels was a fan of chess and tea.
In 827 BBY, Zorith and Zudu saved Mr. Tunnels from being killed in an avalanche. In gratitude, he left them a portion of his fortune in his will.
Six years later, Mr. Tunnels was murdered. His numerous heirs were summoned to the reading of his will; they were all considered suspects by famed detective Herlock Sholmes. However, Zorith and Zudu discovered Sholmes was the murderer. Being Jedi, the Colicoids renounced their share of the inheritance, giving it to the orphans of miners on Elom.
