What is the name of the slug-like crime lord on Tatooine?

The story behind the answer

The notorious Hutt who dominates Tatooine’s underworld is the one seen ruling from a palace in the Dune Sea, enslaving Han Solo and presiding over executions via rancor pit and the Sarlacc. The distractors refer to other Hutts: Ziro is the flamboyant crime boss on Coruscant from The Clone Wars; Gardulla once owned Shmi and Anakin Skywalker before losing them to Watto; Gorga is a lesser-known Hutt, mostly appearing in expanded materials.

As a species, Hutts are slug-like, long-lived gangsters who control vast criminal syndicates. This particular Hutt’s storyline culminates in Return of the Jedi, where Leia kills him aboard his sail barge, a turning point that frees Han and disrupts Hutt power on Tatooine. His character blends space-opera spectacle with classic gangster tropes, shaping the series’ depiction of organized crime.
