Scarecrow was a domesticated kusak that resided on Lok during the era of the Galactic Civil War. Following the Battle of Yavin, this creature belonged to a group of ten kusaks—along with Bedhead, Blinky, Runt, Slobbers, Troubles, Wart Face, Gargle, Ding, and Speedbump—that the Lok Revenants had trained to protect Nym's Stronghold. In 1 ABY, an adventurer offered Lokkian weed to the animal. Because Scarecrow had particular tastes, the adventurer needed to gather and test various plants to pinpoint the specific one that Scarecrow favored.
Scarecrow made an appearance in Star Wars Galaxies, the 2003 video game, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game created by Sony Online Entertainment and distributed by LucasArts, before it was shut down on December 15, 2011. Scarecrow's inclusion in the game was part of the updated "Nym's Theme Park," which was launched with "Game Update 16," on March 23, 2010.
The kusak was a component of the "Caring for the Kusaks" collection. A player received one of ten distinct varieties of Lokian weed each time they successfully completed the "Weed Whacker Foliage Requisition" mission. These weeds could be used to feed the kusaks, but each of the ten kusaks located in or near the stronghold would only consume one specific type of weed, which was randomly determined.
