The viscid lurker, also known as simply the lurker, constituted a species of aquatic invertebrates resembling jellyfish that were native to the planet Koboh, located in the Outer Rim. These creatures inhabited the dark, subterranean waters of Koboh, deliberately shunning sunlight. Their diet consisted of mites and krill that thrived in these lightless environments.
Encountering the viscid lurker posed a significant threat, as their tendrils were capable of delivering a potent electrical shock. This shock was sufficient to injure larger creatures, but proved fatal to the lurker's intended prey.
Skoova Stev, a fisherman living on Koboh, famously captured a viscid lurker within the Phon'Qi Caverns during the year 9 BBY. He subsequently placed his catch in the aquarium situated at Pyloon's Saloon. Despite his small size, the Sakavian gained notoriety for his skill in entering the compact habitats of lurkers and successfully capturing them.
The viscid lurker made its initial appearance in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a game developed by Respawn Entertainment and launched on April 28th, 2023.
