[edit] Acklay

An Acklay is a large non-sapient creature resembling a praying mantis. It is equipped with three eyes and 6 legs with four digits each, the fourth of which terminating in elongated scythe-like claws. As a carnivore, it possess a mouth full of long, sharp teeth. Its planet of origin is Vendaxa, but the Acklay has adapted to several other environments, including the lush floral landscape of Felucia, the planet where famed Jedi master Aayla Secura was killed, as well as the harsh deserts of Geonosis. One was loosed in the Petranaki arena and attempted to kill Obi-Wan Kenobi during the events of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, but was defeated by the Jedi Master when the Jedi reinforcements arrived. They can also be found in Star Wars: Battlefront II during the "Heart of Darkness" level on the "Rise of the Empire" mode. They also featured at various locations in the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies.

[edit] Ash Angel

Ash Angels are one of the very few creatures that live on the harsh violent environment of Sullust. It stands just under 1 meter tall and has a wingspan of 2.5 meters. It survives by consuming ash. It has several eyes which it uses to see scrumptious ash "pellets".

[edit] Asyyriak

The Asyyriak is a predator that lives in the forests of Kashyyk. It spends most of its time high above the forest floor and jumping from tree branch to tree branch. It ranges from 1 to 2 meters long and has a thin body that's no more than .35 meters in diameter. It has an elongated head with a pointed snout filled with sharp, grinding teeth. It is omnivorous. It has six legs, which are positioned along its very flexible spine, to provide a highly maneuverable frame. Each foot has four toes, each toe ends in razor sharp talons. Its body is covered with long brown and green hair, which lies on top of green skin.

Asyyriaks primarily prey upon avians and other small animals. A few small wookiee children are lost each year because of the Asyyriak. Asyyriaks hibernate during cold seasons, choosing hollow tree trunks for dens.

[edit] Bandara

Bandaras, which are also known as sandbar dwellers, are beetles from the planet Devaron who live in huge unyielding swarms on sandbars and beaches. Their unified mating call during the summer can be unbearable to hear.^[1]

[edit] Bantha

Main article: Bantha

The bantha is a colossal, shaggy, mammalian mount with circularly-curved ram-like horns, Herds of woolly banthas inhabit the desert wastes of Tatooine in the outer Rim, as well as grasslands and plains of other worlds throughout the Star Wars galaxy. Since banthas are found in such a large number of agricultural systems, it is believed that early space settlers transported the species to new worlds. Although largely domesticated, on some planets wild herds can still be found. There are several known varieties of banthas in existence, including the common bantha (Bantha majorus), the smaller, shy dwarf bantha, and the rangier, slender dune bantha. One specific subtype of bantha is the Kashyyyk greyclimber, which differs from its tatooine cousin in that the greyclimber has massive cranial bone plates in place of horns; it has also adapted to climbing through the evolution of articulated toes that can grip wroshyr trees. The common bantha is by far the most numerous, but as banthas are found on a multitude of worlds, more subspecies may yet be discovered in the Star Wars universe. Generally beasts of burden, the tall, gentle creatures are intelligent, dependable, and trustworthy. They are extremely strong, able to carry up to five hundred kilos of cargo, or five human-sized passengers, including a driver. Because of their rocking gait, many first-time bantha riders have been known to complain of motion sickness. Although banthas prefer to move at a slow pace, they can run at great speeds when necessary, and stories of banthas stampedes are commenplace on all the worlds they inhabit. Banthas are extremely adaptable, abiding comfortably in all sorts of climates, able to survive for weeks without food or water. From world to world, batha subspecies vary in size, colortaion, social groupings, behavior and metabolic specifics but one commanality is that surprisingly, these mostly gentle giants are herbivores. On Tatooine, banthas live on meager sand lichen mats found either in protected hollows or just under the sand. Due to their size and internal stores, they can live for nearly a month without sustenance. In addition to being beasts of burden, banthas are a valuable source of nourishment for many cultures. Bantha meat is edible, and their skin and long, thick fur can be used for clothing. Bantha-skin goods such as boots and luggage are expensive luxuries on some planets in the Star Wars universe. Furhermore, Bantha bones and horns are carved by members of several cultures to make tools, ornaments, and toys. Banthas exhibit many of the traits typical of herd animals. Wild banthas have been known to gather dead in bantha graveyards. When attackd, they usually flee, and most bantha species will only fight in defense of the herd and their young. In the event that they are trapped, or when young banthas must be defended, male banthas will form a circle around their calves and cows, using their large tapering horns and three-meter-wide size to protect the herd. They strike by lowering their heads and ramming their large spiral horns into an attacker. Some cultures have taken advantage of the bantha's horns and bulk by using domesticated breeds as beasts of war, spurring them to charge at foes and trample them underfoot. On Tatooine, woolly banthas have been left to roam free in the harsh desert climate, and the species has flourished. they are the transportation of choice for the native Tusken Raiders, who have a special and unique relationship with their mounts. Upon reaching the age of five, a Tusken Raider is teamed up with a young bantha, and the two develop an emotional bond that lasts a lifetime. If its master dies, a "widowed" bantha will often fly into a suicidal rage. The tribe then waits until the bantha tires of its rampage, afterward turning it out into the wilderness to survive on its own. usually, the unfortunate bantha dies of grief and dehydration. Likewise, if the bantha mount is the first to perish, the Tusken Raider to whom it was bonded will become inconsolable to the point of ruthlessly attacking others in the clan, or even taking his or her own life. If such Tusken Raiders do not die from their despair, they are sent out into the desert on a vision quest, to contact the spirit of their fallen bantha partner. If the bantha companion guides them to the afterlife, they will expire in the barren wastelands of Tatooine. If, however, their former mount wishes them to live, it will guie them to a new, riderless bantha, which then becomes their new companion. Tusken Raiders who return with a fresh mount are given high honor in their communities. In the teräs käsi fighting technique mastered and favored by Darth Maul, one of the moves is called 'Charging Bantha.' Banthas can be seen in video games and the movie Star Wars: A New Hope. In some star systems, Banthas can grow up to 5.0 meters.

[edit] Barri

Barri are enigmatic spacefaring creatures that can hitch rides on asteroids and derelict spacecraft for thousands of years in space. Their acid secretions break down and help the barris digest the asteroid they ride on.^[1]

[edit] Beldon

Beldons are colossal floating beasts found in the clouds of Bespin. Beldons grow to a diameter of several kilometers across. They are essentially living gasbags.

[edit] Blenjeel sand worm

The sandy, uncolonized world of Blenjeel appears to have no lifeforms, until prey sets foot on the sand. Gigantic carnivorous caterpillar-like creatures with round mouths filled with sharp teeth, called Blenjeel sand worms, inhabit the planet, and will consume the unwary stranded traveler. The worms are blind, but can detect motion. They are somewhat like the Wandrella. In one of the Jedi Knight games, Kyle Katarn battles a much bigger sand worm with six longer, sharper claws, while in Jedi Academy, Jaden Korr must repair his or her ship by scanvenging parts strewn over the sand, avoiding sandworms using Force Speed. They are analogous to the sandworms of Dune. Screenshot of a Blenjeel sandworm The Blenjeel sand worm somewhat looks like the character "Jeff the Worm" from Men In Black II.

It is covered in green fur and though it has no eyes, communicates through small words and images in the force. The death of the bouncer Laa led to the girl Rain's turn to the dark side. "Bad dreams coming Rain, bad dreams coming."

[edit] Bursa

Bursas are quadrupeds that build mud huts. They are known to mercilessly destroy Gungan settlements, and bursas, led by the warlord Boss Rogoe, destroyed Boss Gallo's village, Otoh Sancture, 3000 years before the Battle of Naboo. However, a clan of Bursas allied with Gallo in the siege of Rongo's fortress after Gallo's forces healed the injured Bursa chief.

[edit] C

[edit] Can-cell

The can-cell is a monstrous dragonfly, about 1.5 m (4.9 ft) long, which flies the skies of Kashyyyk.

[edit] Cannok

Cannoks inhabit the forest moon of Dxun. Cannoks are small, annoying creatures that have the ability to consume anything, including mechanical components. Some were transported to Telos to aid in the restoration project on the surface after it was bombarded by Darth Malak, where they were sent to keep the herbivore population under control. However, when Czerka Corporation started to take control of the planet, and the Ithorians running the planetary restoration project were pushed back, the cannoks ate all of the herbivores, and soon began attacking anything they could.

[edit] Canyon Krayt dragon

Canyon Krayt dragons are a subspecies of the krayt dragon that live in the rocky caves and canyons of Tatooine's desert ranges. 10 m (33 ft) tall and 30 m (98 ft) long, the canyon krayt represents the smallest of the krayt subspecies. An evolved hunter, the four-legged canyon krayt possesses a yellow-brown camouflage skin pattern, a five-horned crown ridge, a face armored with dermal bone plates, and a spike-studded tail. They continuously grow throughout their lifespan, growing stronger with age. They usually feed on womp rats, eopies, and lone banthas. They are viciously singe-minded and will chase their prey until they catch it or until it escapes the boundaries of the mountains.They have also been known to hold a slightly yellowish green crystal inside of them. Jedi Obi-wan Kenobi saved Luke Skywalker from a group of Sand People on Tatooine by imitating a krayt dragon's cry. ^[3]

[edit] Cherfer

Cherfers are aggressive, quadrupedal, herd animals from the planet Elom. Although they are omnivores, these beasts are quick to anger and prefer meat. They gore their prey with their hardened snouts and can dig soil quickly with their sharp hooves.^[1]

Chiilak are thick-furred, six-limbed bipeds that inhabit the glacial regions of the moon Misnor, and can grow up to 2.2 m (7.2 ft) tall. Although they are breathe air, they can hold their breath underwater for up to 20 minutes; similarly, their webbed paws make for easy swimming.

[edit] Clawbird

The clawbird is a black-feathered carrion-eating bird, similar to a vulture on Earth. They live on Tatooine, Geonosis and Wayland.

[edit] Climbing tauntaun

The climbing tauntaun is a small subspecies of tauntaun that can climb the walls of caves in order to find lichens to eat. They live on Hoth.

[edit] Colo claw fish

Colo Claw Fish are immense underwater carnivores that dwell in the porous caverns of the Naboo core, appearing in The Phantom Menace. Natural phosphorescence give its eel-like skin an eerie glow. They have flattened flukes for bodies, with a large toothy snout flanked by hooked grasping claws, hence the name. It can grow up to 193 meters in length, mostly made up of hypersensitive tail tissue that detects movement. While hunting, the colo uses chin lures to attract prey, then screams with special organs in its throat to sonically stun prey. The colo can then dislocate its jaws to swallow oversized food. Once injested, weak stomach acids and poison assist in the stupefication of live prey.

The colo claw fish's lethargic digestive process means it hunts less than the other underwater predators of Naboo's depths, but is no less dangerous. If threatened, the colo will lash out with amazing speed. The beast can release a bizarre hydrosonic shriek that stuns its prey. Its bite delivers a powerful poison to further immobilize its victim. They also have immense jaws hinged to allow the swallowing of large prey whole. Its temporomandibular claws help push prey down its throat, and its stomach expands to hold large amounts of food. After gorging itself, the colo retreats to its cave dwelling to hibernate and digest. Representations of the aquatic monster have been part of the Naboo folk culture for ages, often used to symbolize distrust and fear. This fish is also in a downloadable location (ancient research faculty) for Star Wars Battlefront 2.

[edit] Conduit worm

The conduit worm is a long worm that lives in the electrical wiring channels of underground Coruscant and thrives on the electrical currents sent through them. They may also be attracted to the electric activity in brains, if they do not find a stronger electrical power source to feed on. As such, many a person has awoken on Coruscant to find one of the worm's feelers creeping into their ears. The worms can end up on starships, causing power outages, and are treated as vermin.

[edit] Condor dragon

Condor dragons are flying reptiles from the forest moon of Endor. They have excellent eyesight and massive fangs for tearing through even the thickest hides. They often capture their prey alive and carry it back to their caves. They have a wingspan of approximately 3 m (9.8 ft).

[edit] Coruscanti ogre

The Coruscanti ogre is a large sentient being that wanders the lower levels of Coruscant. They have hard gray skin, pointed ears and very sharp teeth. These beasts feed off the flesh of other creatures.

[edit] Cracian thumper

The Cracian Thumper is a widely used bipedal beast of burden used on human-populated worlds throughout the galaxy, including Jomark. It is named for the sound it doesn't make, as it makes very little sound while running. It is a central component of the Rebel Alliance's program of live mount scouting, and Cracian Thumper racing is a popular sport.

[edit] Croator

The croator, a creature native to Wyndigal II, a planet with extreme ultraviolet radiation exposure, is an asexual, flightless avian-like creature with reflective plumage and an unusually long proboscis, used to inhale tiny fish and insects for food. Travelers on Wyndigal II often use croator plumage as anti-radiation protection.^[1]

[edit] Cthon

The cthon is a zombie-like sentient humanoid that, believed to have evolved from another humanoid creature. Like the ogre, it feeds off the flesh of others. It has huge ears, enabling it to find its way around the perpetually dark Coruscant underlevels, but no eyes, as it has no use for them. Cthons live in small groups and attack the unwary, trapping them with electro nets and devouring them.

In the novel Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter, the Jedi Padawan Darsha Assant, the information broker Lorn Pavan, and Pavan's protocol droid, I5-YQ, were being tracked by Darth Maul and were captured by a group of Cthons, though they escaped when I5-YQ was re-activated and 'screamed.' The sound, horribly painful to humans, caused absolute agony to the Cthons due to their overlarge ears. While Maul was tracking them, he too was attacked by the Cthons; however, he killed eight or nine, sending the rest running for their lives.

[edit] Dewback

Main article: Dewback

Dewbacks are large reptilian creatures native to Tatooine. They are commonly used as beasts of burden. They are active during the day but sluggish at night, when temperatures drop on the desert planet. They were used by the Empire's Sandtroopers while searching Tatooine for R2-D2 and C-3PO. Dewbacks were later used to patrol Mos Eisley after the Sandtroopers "pacified" the planet. To control these huge beasts, Sandtroopers, such as Darrik Jelso, used large polearms called static pikes. These monstrous lizards get their names from licking the dew off other herd members backs early in the morning.

[edit] Dianoga

Dianoga, also known as garbage squids, are large, highly adaptable cephalopods capable of growing up to 10 m (32.8 ft) in length. They have a spherical body, seven tentacles, a mouth of inward-pointing teeth, and one large eye on a stalk. They originated in the swamps of planet Vodran, but can now be found in many watery trash or sewage disposals on any planet in the galaxy, living off of any present organic matter. They are primarily scavengers, and only pose a threat to living creatures when starving or frightened. One dianoga tried to eat Luke Skywalker in the Death Star's trash compactor, while Dash Rendar had to deal with several of these creatures, including a giant one, in the sewers of Imperial City. Like sharks, dianogas are attracted to movement and splashes in the water. They vary from green to brown.

[edit] Draagax

Draagax are pack hunters that hunt in the equatorial grasslands of the planet Relkass. Apart from hunting small rodents, these animals also consume wild sentinel plants. When the plants bloom in the dry season, they provide the draagax with a narcotic that sends them on a berserker frenzy, attacking everything in their path.^[1]

[edit] Dragon snake

Dragon snakes are long, ferocious creatures, native to the swamps of Dagobah. To one of them is attributed the attack on R2-D2 in The Empire Strikes Back. In the teräs käsi fighting technique mastered and favoured by Darth Maul, one of the moves is called 'Dancing Dragon Snake.'

[edit] Drexl

Drexl are giant creatures that are usually green, and have teeth the size of human arms. They are native to Onderon. The adult form can fly, and is used as a means of transport and defense by the planet's Beast-riders. Drexl larvae are unable to fly, but are strong and extremely fierce. They appear in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.

[edit] Duracrete slug

Having been spread throughout the galaxy by freighters and cargo ships, Duracrete slugs dig tunnels into building foundations and feed off of the concrete in there. Some specimens have been known to reach 10 m (32.8 ft) in length. They can consume almost any kind of concrete because the parts they cannot digest are excreted into armor nodules on their bodies.

[edit] Dweebit

The dweebit is a small, reddish-brown beetle, native to the Yuuzhan Vong galaxy. Dweebits could be used as weapons. When they were put onto Belkadan, they emitted extremely noxious fumes that made the planet uninhabitable.

[edit] E

[edit] Eopie

Eopies are 1.75 meter tall herbivores native to the planet Tatooine, appearing in all three prequel movies, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and Star Wars Galaxies. The quadruped mammals are distinguished by their pale skin and long flexible snouts (it looks rather like a Macrauchenia). An eopies's pale, white skin helps keep the creature cool by reflecting the intense sunlight of the planet's twin stars. A special hinged skull allows for a very flexible, elongated snout and a broader range for sharp incisors. Eopies get most of their moisture from desert lichens and tubers.

Eopies reach maturity around six standard years of age and their average lifespan is 90 standard years, however like most creatures, the animal weakens with age. Young eopies are much more vulnerable to the harsh desert conditions of the twin-sunned world. A young eopie needs to consume more food than a mature one and is also unable to carry as heavy a load. Newborn eopies are slow and awkward and are preyed upon by some of the more dangerous creatures of Tatooine. Older eopies are kept by the planet's moisture farmers to eat desert weeds that absorbs the planet's already valuable moisture. They are also used as transports across the vast desert plains of the arid planet. They also have imperturbable dispositions, reacting to surprises with mild interest instead of panic.

Eopies are renowned for their endurance and ability to carry a lot of cargo. They also have a reputation of being stubborn or grumpy creatures. This however, could be attributed to their owners, who often push these animals to the limit, packing them with extremely heavy loads.

[edit] Ewok

Main article: Ewok

The Ewok is a small, sentient furry creature who lives in trees on the forest moon of Endor. They live in villages hung hundreds of feet off the forest floor, and are very primitive. Despite their extremely short and unimposing stature and obnoxiously unadvanced weapons, they were instrumental in destroying the second Death Star's planetary shield generator.

[edit] F

[edit] Fabools

Fabools are green furred, baboon-like creatures with four rear limbs and four front limbs. They sometimes are punctured by thorny Blba trees and eaten by carnivorous snails. They live in the Dantarian Savannahs on Dantooine.

[edit] Faleens

(source:Medstar duology, Legacy of the Jedi.) Reptilian sentients with the ability to give off pheremones which can affect many species in the desired manner. their skin usually changes color when they give off pheromones. Some pheremones given off work through the skin, due to their protein based nature. They are average height. Some have been known to be force-sensitive.

[edit] Falumpaset

The Falumpaset is a large mammal native to Naboo, appearing in The Phantom Menace, The Gungan Frontier, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, and Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine. They roamed the plains and swamps of the planet in large herds, and their distinctive call could be heard for kilometers around. Easily domesticated, falumpasets were popular mounts all over the galaxy. They were, however, known for their stubborn and uncooperative temperament.

The Gungans used them to pull their Battle Wagons at the Battle of Naboo. In the following victory parade, Boss Nass rode a falumpaset through the streets of Theed. For in-universe details, see the StarWars.com databank entry.

[edit] Fambaa

Fambaas are the largest terrestrial herbivores of the Naboo swamp, appearing in The Phantom Menace, The Gungan Frontier, Star Wars Galaxies, Star Wars Battlefront, and Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. Fambaas are technically amphibians but have the scaly hide of reptiles. These creatures can easily knock over trees to get at leaves and berries. They also forage for underwater plants.

Fambaas in the wild travel in herds of up to 102. They are born with moist skin and gills and upon maturity their tails grow, the gills disappear and their skin hardens. The Fambaa has been domesticated by Gungan for millennia as beasts of burden and cavalry/artillery draft breasts. In wars and battles such as the Battle of Naboo, Fambaas were seen as mech units, being used to carry portable shield generators for protecting their armies. The main breeding herds are so large they are traditionally swamp pastured in sacred areas. There are also special Fambaa stables inside underwater bubble cities. Occasionally these animals suffer predation by the Sando,they are in fact the only natural predator of the adult faamba. Females lay large numbers of sticky, gelatinous eggs, which they deposit in puddles and underwater. The young hatch with moist skin and gills then, upon maturity, the gills disappear and their skin hardens. For more information, see the Fambaa entry on StarWars.com.

Despite their 600 kg (1,320 lbs) mass, they can outrun most Humans in a sprint. They are protected by thick external skull plates and beaks, reinforeced by thick layers of cartilage, and finally covered over all parts of their body except on its head by thick fur.^[1]

[edit] Garto

Gartros are small, avian creatures that live on Coruscant. They have bat-like wings, spiked tails, and jaws filled with sharp teeth. Gatros are omnivorous and completely harmless, though many Coruscanti hate them because they form into vast, shrieking flocks.

Glim worms are tunneling 1 m (3.3 ft) long predators, found on many planets. They are covered by sharp, flexible scales that move to propel the worms through sand or soil at speeds up to 40 km/h (25 mph). They are also hunted for their skin for use as clothing, and their slime for use as adhesive.^[1]

[edit] Goober fish

See opee sea killer.
Goober fish are what Jar Jar Binks calls opee sea killers, when he, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn are almost captured and eaten by one.

[edit] Goffbird (Titavian)

Naboo. A large, purple pterodactyl like creature with a wingspan of 100 m. There are large feathers on its chest which the Gunguns use. It is believed to have a large opening beneath its throat, that emits a horrifyingly disguting secretion with a reddish color, this is done to attract other Goffbirds.

[edit] Gornt

A squat, ugly, quadrupedal omnivore, native to the planet Hethar, gornts are now bred as domesticated herd animals on many planets for their extremely nutritious meat.^[1]

[edit] Graiveh

Graivehs originate from the planet Ealor, and are dangerous bipedal predators that are considered "pre-sentients" by the scientists of the Galactic Empire, as they seem to be almost achieving sentience. They grow up to 2.5 m (8.2 ft) tall and possess great eyesight.^[1]

[edit] Great oopik

Great oopiks, flightless creatures from the planet Paramatan with vestigial wings, seem to be the evolutionary link between reptiles and avians. They also use echolocation to seek their food and stun them with powerful ultrasonic waves emitted from their throat sacs.^[1]I would highly recommend that you beware of its largas sack below its back. This lethal sack can emitt quite the odor when stimulated. Do not prvoke this mighty creature

[edit] Gree

Little is known about the grees, an obscure alien species, except the fact that Clone Commander Gree (CC-1004) took his name from them. It is stated that they are so little known in the Republic, that if he ever met someone who knew what his name meant, he would have found a kindred spirit.

[edit] Gundark

Gundarks are large, long-eared primates, native to the jungle planet of Poiu-Trewq. Surprisingly solitary for primates, they are noted for both their great strength and their fierce tempers. Han Solo was certainly paying Luke a great compliment when he claimed that the convalescing Jedi apprentice looked "strong enough to pull the ears off a gundark."

[edit] Horax

Horaxes are enormous reptilian creatures native to the world of Nelvaan. A fully grown horax stands over 15 meters tall at the shoulder. They are solidly built quadrupeds with thick, knobby skin. The carnivorous reptile has a mouth filled with sharp teeth, but none are more impressive than the four enormous saber-like fangs that protrude from the monster's maw. A horax has a set of shovel-like horns at the end of its snout, which it uses to uproot entire trees and split open siltcrawler burrows to eat entire hibernating colonies whole. Horax tails are long, heavy, lined with sharp spurs and end in a club of dense bone. Thankfully for the denizens of Nelvaan, horaxes are rare -- a dying breed not faring well with the climatic changes the planet is undergoing. Due to their huge size and territorial nature, only one horax is ever encountered within a large area of the planet, and its size makes it easy to detect upon approach.

The native Nelvaanians of Rokrul village have discovered that a horax is repelled by the scent given off by a special elixir made from the tail scales of the creature. One scale can produce enough of the pungent mixture to paint a perimeter around their village that lasts an entire Nelvaanian year. This protective ring has become an important element in the tribal culture of the Nelvaanians. Each year, young Nelvaanian males are sent to find a sleeping horax and return with a tail scale. Doing such is a rite of passage, granting that Nelvaanian into the upper ranks of the village's warrior scouts. Nelvaanian should first confirm that horaxes being sent are pure male before they can be brought by Nelvaanian

[edit] Kell dragon

Kell dragons are the slightly stockier relatives of the krayt dragon. While not heavily mentioned in the original Star Wars movies, they featured significantly in the first two installments of the Dark Forces series of games.

Huge and powerful, they rival rancors in their ferocity and, as such, are favoured by wealthy crime lords such as the Hutts. They originally appear in Dark Forces, where in the main character, Kyle Katarn, is forced to face them, without weapons, after being captured by Jabba the Hutt. The Kell Dragon stands 2.4 m (8 ft) tall, and 6.1 m (20 ft) long. Covered in grey scales, its prime method of attack is to dive forward and bite.

The smaller ones live on are capable of evading even tight security, and are virtually impossible to trace back to their users, and, as such, they are frequently used by assassins. When used for assassination jobs, they are starved ahead of time, so that, when released, they immediately prey on the closest warm-blooded life form. Their deadly toxin, released from their teeth, is lethal to their prey at a remarkably fast rate. The stinger is merely painful, and not fatal. This creature was used by Zam Wesell in her attempt to kill Senator Padmé Amidala.

Kowakian monkey-lizards are small, hairy creatures with large ears, beaks and tails, and stand approximately two feet (60 cm) tall. They are small, semi-intelligent creatures from the planet Kowak. Notable Kowakian monkey-lizards include Salacious Crumb, Jabba the Hutt's jester – many Hutts found that monkey-lizards are useful to keep around, as they often parrot out the plans of those plotting against their masters. As evidenced by Jedi Outcast, calling someone a Kowakian monkey-lizard is a grave insult. These creatures spend most of their nights whooping in laughter in large groups.

[edit] Krakanas
