The Slith are a limb-less, reptilian species that travel across their homeworld of Yavin Thirteen as nomads, neither setting up permanent settlements nor cultivating an established society. Their intelligence has been confirmed through their hunting techniques, communal ceremonies, and form of communication, all of which is too highly sophisticated to be attributed to simple instinct. They do not have much to do with Yavin Thirteen's other sentient species, the Gerbs.
These intelligent reptilians skim over the fine sand and over the rocky plains, using a twisting, snake-like method of locomotion. They can attain greater speeds, however, by traveling sideways. Moving sideways, Slith can speed along, making quick spurts to catch prey or escape hazards. When hunting prey, Slith attack with venomous fangs. The venom paralyzes their prey, allowing the hunters to bring them back to the rest of the tribe. Slith prefer to eat their prey alive. |
