- Name: Kirazi Jnika - High Sith for Devouring Slime
- Designation: Semi-sentient
- Origins: Felucia
- Average Lifespan: 100 Galactic Standard Years
- Estimated Population: Planetary
- Description: Appearing to be just an amorphous pile of goo on the ground or in a container, the Kirazi Jnika are far more dangerous than they initially appear. There are many warnings by Hojo Base staff to not touch or disturb the goo or risk being consumed.
- Breathes: The Kirazi Jnika don't require oxygen or other breathable atmospheres to survive.
- Average Height of Adults: Varies depending on if contained in some way, but when riled, it can reach heights of roughly 3.5 meters.
- Average Length of Adults: Varies depending on if contained in some way, but when riled, it can reach lengths of roughly 3.5 meters.
- Skin color: The Kirazi Jnika do not have skin, but their color can vary between all the colors of the rainbow depending on their environment and whether they have fed or not.
- Hair color: No hair
- Distinctions: The most distinctive trait of the Kirazi Jnika is really its entire body as it is an amorphous blob of goo. While it is docile, it retains the shape of whatever container it might be in or laying in a large puddle on the ground or in a cube. When riled however, especially when it senses food nearby, it will suddenly morph into a more humanoid shape to try and grab ahold of their prey and draw them into its body to be dissolved.
- Races: No other races currently
- Force Sensitivity: Non-Sensitive
- Much like blorash jelly, Kirazi Jnika once they have grabbed ahold of something, it is almost impossible to remove its grip. Anything engulfed in the goo that makes up its body will start to be dissolved and absorbed by the goo.
- To make its ability to dissolve prey easier, the goo that comprises its body is composed of a mixture of a highly corrosive acid and Senflax. Being ensnared within it will not feel their bodies being dissolved.
- The creature is extremely resilient to blaster fire and slugthrowers, even higher caliber weapons such as a turbolaser isn't going to stop the creature very well. Kinetic weapons such as vibroswords and even lightsabers that might cut it into pieces will only result in creating more of the creature that are all equally capable of continuing trying to consume their victim.
- While it is extremely resistant to most types of weaponry, the creature is highly susceptible to cold weaponry like carbonite or CryoBan. The goo that makes up its body will freeze rapidly, shatter, and the creature will be killed.
- Water can also be an effective weapon to use against the creature as something like a water cannon will disrupt its bodily integrity and it won't be able to pull itself back together or act as independent forms either.
- Diet: Omnivore, although they have a preference for meat.
- Communication: While they are not fully sentient, they can communicate with others of their kind by changing the color of their body in certain sequences. A certain pheromone will prevent them from attacking someone if they come near their resting places.
- Technology level: They are unable to use technology.
- Religion/Beliefs: No religion or belief system.
- General behavior: Kirazi Jnika are creatures of a simple purpose; that of consuming matter. They prefer to stay in one location, but they are not terribly picky on where they have decided to lurk, such as canisters, boxes, pretending to be puddles, sticking to the ceiling, etc. All that matters to them is the consuming of enough prey and growing large enough that they can replicate themselves, the pile of goo that consists of their body separating into new individuals that are of equal size as the original.
Another experiment to come out of the Hojo Base on Felucia, the Kirazi Jnika is a Spaarti Creations bioengineering project that the company has intentions of making available for purchase. The creature began as a single Ugor specimen, a scavenger that had been attempting to steal several valuable components on their way to a Sith shipyard. For his crime, he was given over to Taeli Raaf and her followers and subjected to experiments to splice blorash jelly cells into the Ugor's body. The Ugor was slowly merged with the blorash jelly, becoming a larger pile of goo that could take on humanoid shape when a being approached to latch onto as two interns unfortunately found out the hard way.
The new creation, dubbed the Kirazi Jnika or Devouring Slime, replicated and Spaarti scientists realized they had a potential specimen that could be perfect for providing some measure of protection to facilities or wealthy clients. To make sure no other accidents occurred, they isolated a special pheromone that would prevent the Devouring Slime from attacking their owner. The order was eventually passed down to allow some of the subjects to be let loose in the Felucian jungle for observation while others would be kept in storage at the base for further study and for potential defense against an attack.
