Krayt Dragon

Krayt Dragons were a species of massive lizards that lived on the desert planet of Tatooine. Alongside other animals such as the Bantha, the Krayt Dragon was one of the most well known animals from Tatooine. They were incredibly powerful carnivores, preying on anything they could find in the desert sands of Tatooine. Tusken Raiders would hunt and kill Krayt Dragons as a way of showing their right to become warriors in their tribes. Some Krayt Dragons, along with some Rancors, were known for attacking both Imperial and Rebel bases on Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War, with some of these dragons being captured by these factions and later tamed to fight in the War. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi mimicked the call of a Krayt Dragon in order to scare off an group of Tusken Raiders on Tatooine in order to rescue a young Luke Skywalker shortly before the Battle of Yavin.
