'''Polyp''' was a [[Color/Legends|blue]]-skinned [[Alien/Legends|alien]] who lived on the [[Outer Rim Territories/Legends|Outer Rim]] [[Planet/Legends|world]] [[Feriae Junction/Legends|Feriae Junction]] during the era of the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]]. Polyp worked at a [[Droid/Legends|droid]] [[Skinker's salvage yard|salvage yard]] owned and operated by a [[Human/Legends|Human]] known as [[Skinker]], who in [[0 ABY/Legends|0 ABY]] embroiled Polyp in his dealings with notorious [[Bounty hunter/Legends|bounty hunter]] [[Beilert Valance/Legends|Beilert Valance]]. Valance, who plied his trade on Feriae Junction for a [[Time/Legends|time]], formed a relationship with Skinker: Valance, a virulent hater of droids, paid Skinker to provide him with droids to destroy. After a few weeks, a young man named [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker]] and his [[Protocol droid/Legends|protocol droid]] [[C-3PO/Legends|C-3PO]] walked into his yard. Skinker instantly recognized him as an [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Alliance]] war hero Valance had been tirelessly searching for, and sent Polyp to track the hunter down and give him the word. Polyp passed along the message and returned to Skinker, but the two's whispering made Skywalker suspicious and foiled Valance's attempt to get the drop on his target. Polyp and Skinker were caught in an explosion in the ensuing firefight, killing both.<ref name="marvel27" />
