Gnat/Legends

"Swoop jockeys have the brains of a blister gnat–and about the same life expectancy."

―Han Solo

Gnats were small creatures that often were killed early in their life. They were usually flying in black swarms and lived in humid areas. Types of gnat were the blister gnat, the fire gnat, the Rodian kelp gnat and the parfue gnat.

They preyed on honeyboars.
