The flying squid of Utapau represented a species of airborne carnivores that originated from the planet named Utapau. These creatures possessed a perpetual hunger and lacked discrimination in their dietary choices, rendering them dangerous to any other life form in the skies.
The Utapaun flying squid's initial mention within the new Star Wars canon occurred in the reference book Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know, published in 2015. Conversely, within the Star Wars Legends timeline, the flying squid was initially referenced in the 2005 reference book titled Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Incredible Cross-Sections.
