Sarls were an armored insectoid species that inhabited the moon of Draay 2, located in the Outer Rim Territories; these bugs are classified as legends. A multitude of these creatures made their home within the hidden temple, which was constructed by Jedi Master Lucien Draay to conceal a Sith artifact referred to as the "Gauntlet of Kressh the Younger." These sarls had congregated in a formation surrounding the Gauntlet, ultimately succumbing to the influence of the dark side of the Force. Due to their extended exposure to the energy emanating from the artifact over centuries, the sarls had developed a remarkable resilience: their armored exoskeletons were capable of withstanding both blaster fire and lightsaber attacks. Moreover, their powerful dual mandibles possessed the ability to penetrate plastoid armor. During the time of the Clone Wars, Jedi Master B'ink Utrila, accompanied by her Padawan Rennax Omani and several clone troopers, encountered the sarls within the temple; however, they were compelled to retreat in the face of the insects' extraordinary resistance.
