The sand-squid of doom.

The Sarlacc is an enormous beast that lives beneath the sands of Tatooine. Feeding enemies to the Sarlacc became one of Jabba the Hutt's favorite forms of execution. He claimed that those fed to it would "know a new definition of pain and suffering, as you are slowly digested over a thousand years".

Attributes

The Sarlacc is an immobile creature that presumably survives by capturing any animal that wanders near, having created a sand-pit trap much like that of an antlion. The Sarlacc's mouth lies at the bottom of the pit. Tentacles around the mouth grab at nearby creatures to drag them down to be swallowed. Whether it would actually take a thousand years for the Sarlacc to digest a humanoid meal (let alone whether the victim would be alive, aware, and suffering for that long) is unconfirmed.
