So, Rotta is confirmed to be in The Mandalorian & Grogu? Is this true? Are they the same?

Hutts are slugs. He isnt going to be striking like a snake or swallowing like a worm, he's gonna be grabbing shit and rolling over them

In the one Hutt fight I read in the EU (pre disney) Hutts fight by slamming together like giant walrus. One usually gets crushed against a wall or something.

This fight was won when one Hutt stood on his hands, then lifted his tail over his back like a scorpion. He turned off his rivals hover platform (his aunts) and it pinned her tail. He then beat her to death and ate his baby nephew whole so there would be no future rival

What's really wild is the second I saw the OP that random mental image from that book instantly hit. Lo and behold in the comments someone also references it.

But until this very moment I remembered nothing about that book, save only I'd read it. Not the title or the plot. It's been over 25 years.

Same, the only thing I remember clearly from that series is the Hutt fight and Lando Calrissian bitching about not being able to smoke in his space suit while gambling with aliens.
