Have you ever wondered what living an eternal life would be like? Just ask a Sarlacc. Xenobiologists on Tatooine report that Sarlaccs are said to live between 20,000 to 50,000 standard galactic years. But I wouldn't be getting too close to these creatures, as they could quite easily sweep you up with their long tentacles and consume you as a snack, digesting you for over a decade. If you are taking a stroll through the sandy hills of Tatooine, you may just come across this living and breathing semi-sentient pit. 

"Victims of the Sarlacc could quite possibly live for some weeks or months," Dr. Fern, a Xenobiologist currently studying Tatooine's sentient species, explains. "Their stomach acids preserve their victims and keep them fresh. However, eventually the victim will succumb to the Sarlacc's long digestive system, which will break down its food over a decade or so."

Research reveals that these creatures are very rare. They bury themselves underground with a pit-like opening on the surface. The creature's long tendrils allow it to snap up prey that linger around the pit's edges. Conventional weapons will not affect the Sarlacc. "It'll take some substantially heavy ordinance dropped directly into the pit to have even the slightest effect. Even then, such efforts may be wasteful," Dr. Fern states. 

Keep your eyes peeled and watch your step; don't mistake this creature for a cave opening.
