Mageye was a criminal overlord from Taboon, a planet, and a Hutt in the underworld. He met his end in 1 BBY when he became an unintended casualty in a shootout involving Jodo Kast and the Thig Brothers. During the chaos, the Weequays who were carrying Mageye accidentally dropped him; he then rolled onto the bounty hunter Zardra. To avoid being crushed, Zardra retaliated by shoving a thermal detonator into his mouth. The death of Mageye led Jabba to offer a bounty of 50,000 credits for Zardra's capture, which was swiftly claimed by Gorm the Dissolver.
