In 'The Empire Strikes Back' what was chewing on the power cables of the Millenium Falcon while Han Solo and company were hiding inside the asteroid cave?

Mynocks. A mynock was a silicon-based organism that was often found leeching power from spacecraft. Mynocks were one of the few species that could live in the vacuum of space. Mynocks also had bat-like wings which they used to fly in atmosphere. They fed on electrical energy, and thus could become stuck to power cables on ships. The energy was absorbed through a big sucker-like mouth located between their eye stalks. They reproduced by mitosis. They were commonly eaten by another silicon-based creature, the space slug. Swarms of mynocks could be found alive, flying around a space slug's innards for a long time before they start to become digested. Mynocks could be found either traveling alone, or more commonly, in huge packs. Found across the Galaxy, mynocks tended to flock together, migrating annually in large groups. The most notable of these migrations were the famed migrations of Roon, where the sky could literally become darkened from swarms of these creatures. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mynock Sep 26 06, 4:17 PM
