Episode I Adventures 9: Rescue in the Core.Jedi Academy: Return of the Padawan (Non- canonical appearance) (tooth).The Ultimate Edition of the soundtrack to Episode I incorrectly calls this a giant squid in the track title "The Giant Squid and The Attack on Theed." Soon after the colo was being rendered in shots, the concept of adding a glowing fringe to the slug-like body was included, and then the glowing spikes were added to complete the look. Originally the glowing spikes running along its back were not part of the design. The digital model for the colo claw fish was built by Howie Weed at Industrial Light & Magic. Sharp-eyed viewers will notice that the colo that chases the Gungan sub is a mother protecting her young. Its glow was carefully added to allow the audience to see the creature in the dark caverns. In The Phantom Menace, the colo claw fish was developed as a computer-generated creature, like all the deep-sea dwellers of Naboo. The colo claw fish is similar to real-world deep-sea predators, most notably the gulper eel. Later refinements incorporated crocodile and moray eel features into the design. Behind the scenes Ĭoncept artist Terryl Whitlatch wanted the colo claw fish to have an invertebrate look, so her early designs were based on an earwig. Although it bit into the cockpit area, it was eventually electrocuted by R2-D2. ĭuring the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, a claw fish attacked a StarSpeeder 1000 owned by the interstellar agency Star Tours while making its way through Naboo's core to the Rebel-owned airbase on the planet. The claw fish attempted to go around the sando but the monster turned the same direction, bit down on the claw fish and devoured it.Ĭloning of the species on Kamino resulted in the creation of the saberjowl population. As the exit of the cave came, a sando aqua monster appeared, preparing to devour the sub but it went upwards. But the sub turned to escape so the claw fish pursued it. In 32 BBY, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Jar Jar Binks were stuck in a cave and accidentally woke a sleeping claw fish, which lunged at their sub with its mouth open. Young opee sea killers gnaw their way from a colo's stomach. Their stomachs could expand to accommodate larger prey, resulting in some colos looking bloated.

The colo claw fish also had the ability to stun fish with an intense hydrosonic screech, allowing the colo to close in and kill it. Their targets included young opee sea killers, which would often be swallowed alive unfortunately for the colos, these opees could sometimes chew their way out of a colo's stomach. Colo claw fish were usually indiscriminate feeders, swallowing anything that would fit down their throats. The jaws of a colo claw fish had the ability to unhinge, which allowed it to swallow quarry many times larger than its own head. The colo had a massive, crocodile-like head which sported a long snout, stalked eyes, two mandible-like appendages, and a row of venomous fangs for subduing prey.
