Skeezumps, a type of creature, inhabited the planet known as Lateron. These fuzzy beings possessed unique digestive systems that caused fermentation of their food, resulting in a perpetual intoxicated state. During a mission to breach a Haxion Brood base, which took place between 12 BBY and 11 BBY, the Stinger Mantis pilot, Greez Dritus, remarked that the Haxion Brood members were likely "drunk as skeezumps in the cantina." Jedi Knight Cal Kestis asked what a skeezump was, and Dritus expressed surprise at the Jedi's ignorance, launching into a lively description of their looks and how they function, adding that they don't make good pets.
