Baby Sarlaac is a trade name for a juvenile sarlaac, popular as a novelty pet.
While the adult sarlaac, a multi-tentacled alien beast whose immense, gaping maw is lined with several rows of sharp teeth, is deadly dangerous and widely feared, the juvenile sarlaac is relatively harmless.
In its native environment, juvenile sarlaacs feed upon insects, rodents, and small hominids such as ewoks.
The adult sarlaac catches its prey — chiefly condemned criminals and unlucky bounty hunters — with a trapping structure formed by the terminal portion of each of the sarlaac's tentacles, which is triggered by tiny hairs (called "trigger hairs" or "sensitive hairs") on their inner surfaces.
Although widely harvested for sale, the population of the baby sarlaac has been rapidly declining in its native range. The species is currently under Extraterrestrial Species Act review by the U.S. Space & Alien Life Service.
