Rabban's Inkvine Whip - Dune: Part One
Inkvine was a creeping plant native to Giedi Prime.[1] It was frequently used as a whip in slave cribs, marking its victims with a beet-colored tattoo that caused residual pain for many years.[1] Glossu Rabban used such an Inkvine whip on Gurney Halleck while he lived in a Giedi Prime slave pit,[2] which left Halleck with a dark and ridged scar[3] on the jawline.[4]
