The slug-beetle represented a particular type of diminutive, azure beetle possessing wings, classified as a species. Its habitat encompassed the planets Naboo and Tatooine. Specifically, on Naboo, their existence was confined to the root systems of the perlote tree, a tree unique to the eastern swamps of that planet. These insects were consumed in their entirety by the Gungans, and notably, they were a preferred treat for Senator Jar Jar Binks.
