Digestive upset was a frequent issue for many species, often manifesting as a turbulent or rebellious digestive system. Despite typically being viewed negatively, it occasionally turned out to be a blessing, most notably when the Sarlacc spat out Zorba Desilijic Tiure.
The game Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, released in 2002, depicted Gardulla Besadii the Elder being consumed by her krayt dragon in 32 BBY. Conversely, the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode "Hunt for Ziro", which aired in 2010, showed Gardulla alive and well during the Clone Wars, which was over ten years later. Leland Chee subsequently clarified that the krayt dragon deemed her "indigestible."
