Largest member of the mussel family, the Mulkána was a giant, hard-shelled bivalve with a black shell that protected its soft, white body. This molusk was related to the Giant Clam, although it was larger, quicker, and had a long, vaguely oval, shell. It secreted a foul, acidic, ink which stunned larger prey, killed smaller victims, and slowly ate away skin.

  • Largest member of the mussel family, the Mulkána was a giant, hard-shelled bivalve with a black shell that protected its soft, white body.

It secreted a foul, acidic, ink which stunned larger prey, killed smaller victims, and slowly ate away skin. Found off the eastern shores of Endor, Mulkánar were hunted for their huge (and reputedly enchanted) pearls. At least one of these precious jewels, the priceless Wômaw Moon, exceeded six inches in diameter. Legend proclaimed that the larger of these pearls served as Seeing-stones, although none was as powerful as a Númenórean Palantír.
