An Octeroid male named Glaucus went by the alternate names "Big Guy" and "Big Eye". During the time of 10 BBY, Glaucus could be found observing games of sabacc at the Lodge located on the planet of Vandor. He preferred to watch rather than participate because his [eye](/article/eye] could reveal the cards he held to his opponents.
The male Octeroid, Glaucus, spent some of his time during 10 BBY at the Lodge, a place of business situated within Fort Ypso on the planet Vandor. There, he was one of many who gathered around a table in the back room to watch and engage in rounds of sabacc.
While standing near the table, he observed matches that included Lando Calrissian, Argus Panox, Karjj, Therm Scissorpunch, Dava Cassamam, Lark and Jonk. As Glaucus looked on, the smuggler Han Solo showed up and took part in the game, eventually gaining the advantage and a significant portion of the winnings. Solo ultimately lost everything to Calrissian, who cheated by using a hidden sylop card to secure the win.
Because his understanding of Galactic Basic Standard was limited, Glaucus didn't seem to notice the difference between his two nicknames: "Big Guy" and "Big Eye". He preferred to observe games rather than play himself as his hands were too small to properly conceal his cards, and his eye often reflected the values of the cards, giving his opponents an advantage. This Octeroid had [green](/article/color] skin and a yellow eye.
Glaucus was a character developed for the 2018 Star Wars Anthology film, Solo: A Star Wars Story. His initial reveal occurred in the film's debut trailer. Ivan Manzella, a creature concept designer and senior sculptor, created concept art of Glaucus, titled "Maverick 004", for Solo. The character was first identified in the reference book Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide, authored by Pablo Hidalgo and released alongside the movie.
In an interview with StarWars.com, Jake Lunt Davies, a creature concept designer, mentioned that Ivan Manzella's design for Glaucus, similar to that of Lark and Jonk, was inspired by the space monster aesthetic of the 1950s. He drew inspiration from what would have influenced the designers had Solo been released in 1965, which is ten years before 1977, the year the original Star Wars film, Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, was released.
