Monster of the Day: Dianoga

Source:  Star Wars
Location:  Wherever there is waste and water
Threat Assessment:  2.  Luke Skywalker briefly tangled with one in the Death Star Trash Compactor.  While frightening, and somewhat dangerous since it can use its  tentacles to pull one into the water, it's not much of a threat except to sanitation workers generally.
Limitations:  It doesn't have any special defense against weapons.  In a society with blasters and light sabers it doesn't stand much of a chance except by hiding.
Personal Note:  Bet you didn't know that monster had a name did you?  Somehow Death Star security either wasn't aware there was a huge squid in their trash or didn't care.  Either way, a fail for team Death Star.
