Scarab Mark VI assassin droid

The Scarab Mark VI assassin droid was an assassin droid designed to look like a small insect. They were designed to kill through stealth, not brute force. Scarabs carried varying payloads, including poison and flesh-eating shredders. It had enough capacity for 2 uses. The droid had magnetic feet which allowed it to climb metallic surfaces and advanced sensors that would allow it to track a specific target if it was supplied with a sample of biological fluid.

Scarab Mark VI droids were used in the assassination attempt on Luke Skywalker during his stay on New Alderaan.
