So, let's talk biology for a sec.

The story goes that Sarlacc start as spores, male and female. Female spores are large, and the males feed off them. When a male reaches the female's size, he might explode into many tiny new spores, but he may also continue feasting, eventually burring into the ground to feast upon little insects and stuff underground.

A true Sarlacc as you've seen them take about 30,000 years to mature, and they get that big by feasting upon larger and larger animals that they encounter. Eventually their mass becomes too great and they're just stuck in a hole large enough to support themselves. The Sarclacc in Episode IV is 100 meters large (over 300 feet); there's no way to know they could be bigger than that. The entire pit is nothing but space for the Sarclacc worm-thingo; they're giant worm looking things with multiple stomachs and their digestive system uses neurotoxins to make prey unconscious while being digested.

Just stopping by to say that The Force Awakens is garbage and the worst Star Wars film while Revenge of the Sith is the best Star Wars film.

I contend that with a better script and some looser actor direction (Hayden Christiansen was forced to be bad by Lucas), the prequels could have been an amazing trilogy.

Think about it; Anakin is this kid who grew up on this backward-ass planet, with a solid attachment to his poor slave mother who was forgeted over by the state, and his only other passion is the things he builds to overcome his constant loneliness. He resents the control of his boss and his friends are richardheads. He becomes embroiled in this epic plot to save a Queen who is being targeted by a weapons-manufacturer-turned-invasion-force, and his selfless (if also reckless) actions impress the young, headstrong Jedi Padawan whom loses his mentor to a figure of the dark forces that conspire for control. The story then becomes about how Anakin, who has ever only know how to act through his emotions rather than his logic due to growing up with his Mum, continually acts on impulse, and his still young Master (whom he considers a brother more than a teacher) is struggling to determine how to reign him in before he gives in to the bitter hatred he slowly is developing for politics. It then reaches a tipping point when Anakin encounters the death of his mother as slavers, and so begins his fall to the Dark Side, influenced by the words of somebody he does consider a true father figure.

And all of this was a 20 year (possibly more) Batman Gambit by a Senator looking to take control of the entire galaxy, using every single person as a pawn in his game of Space Chess, and by the time the plot is finally revealed, nobody can stop it.

Given the rest of the biology, I would assume not. Things that have barbed roosters tend to display hard extrusions elsewhere on their body, implying natural design for toughness. The Khajiit look weak, like cats.
