Attark was a male Hoover who lived during the Galactic Civil War. By 4 ABY, he was the pet of the crime lord Jabba the Hutt in the latter's palace on the planet Tatooine. Attark was a technician, whose small size allowed him to both manipulate electronic equipment and crawl inside machinery to repair it from within. Despite his harmless appearance, at night time Attark would creep up on sleeping victims to suck their blood. In 4 ABY, Attark was present in Jabba's palace when several allies of Jabba's prisoner Han Solo arrived to bargain for Solo's freedom. Those events led to the collapse of Jabba's criminal empire and the death of the Hutt himself, and it was unknown if Attark survived.
