Shellfish were small sea creatures. The largest of the shellfish native to the tropicalplanetAnantapar could fit inside the palm of aHuman hand.[1] Shellfish came in a variety of colors, including green,[2] and were even painted for display.[3] Additionally, most of their species were edible byHumans,[2] though shellfish fromPamina Prime weren't; ingesting them could cause a fatal disease calledBorotavi syndrome.
TheGunganspecies onNaboo evolved strong teeth to crush shellfish, which became a staple of their diet.[4] Naboo shellfish were served as an appetizer at theIndigo Tower and was one ofHaydnat Treen's favorite dishes.
Some individuals believed rotten shellfish could cause hallucinations.[5]
TheSedrians of theplanetSedri used shellfish as components to create their uniquemelee weapons.[6]
