Baby Sarlaac is a trade name for a juvenile sarlaac, popular as a novelty pet. The sarlaac catches its prey 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. Adult sarlaacs feed mainly upon condemned criminals and unlucky bounty hunters, while juvenile sarlaacs feed upon insects, rodents, and small hominids such as immature ewoks.
