Lugubraa

Lugubraa possess twisted, maggot-white bipedal bodies of leeches. The main feature of a Lugubraa's face was its large gaping maw, filled with razor sharp teeth in a circular pattern. The numerous teeth overlapped, and chewed in a gearlike pattern. Once something (or someone) entered their maw, it was nearly impossible to escape. Though they can survive on organic matter, the average Lugubraa was obsessed with fresh meat, finding it delicious beyond compare.

Though a Lugubraa possessed four arms, the lower two were little more than useless stubs. Their upper arms were very long, with five long fingers that were tipped with large suction cups. Each suction cup was filled with needlelike barbs. These dangerous digits gave a Lugubraa extra purchase when climbing or holding down their prey.

Lugubraa had no ears, and their skin instead detected sound vibrations. They were naturally strong and very durable, able to stand at attention for days on end without rest and suffer numerous wounds before succumbing

Eater of Worlds. The Gree Enclave considered the Lugubraa to be one of two curses unleashed by the Rakata during their war with the Celestials. The Gree named the Lugubraa "the Faceless Mouths", and further referred to them as "the Eaters of Worlds."

While engaging in a vicious civil war among their own kind, the Croke introduced the Lugubraa to their homeworlds in the Croke Reach. For 300 years they spread, destroying Croke settlements across the region, no longer under the control of their original employers. The Croke sought the help of the cloners of Kamino. The Kaminoans created a genetic variant that became known as the Leech Legion, but these clones proved to be just as deadly to the Croke as their Lugubraa predecessors.

Horde for Hire. Lugubraa, whether alone or in a horde of hundreds, were driven by little more than mindless hunger. As such, Lugubraa of all ages, from a week old to hundreds of years, were seen as a cheap and readily available labor. Those who survived to approximately 50 years old gained their second cognitive level and achieved sapience. These Lorgrombo would deal in credits, selling or renting their horde to others. They would then spend this money not only on themselves, seeking to satiate their never-ending hunger, but also on the well-being of their horde. The elders would buy high-energy food to stave off the prospect of famine amongst their younger brethren, a common problem among overpopulated Lugubraa hordes.

Many governments and organizations across the Unknown Regions used Lugubraa mercenaries, and they were well known for their loyalty, tenacity, and deadliness. A Lugubraa would often find themselves used in one of several ways. The most obvious use was as soldiers—indeed, their overwhelming numbers and voracity led many generals to use them idly, throwing them into battle in suicide waves.
