Krayt Dragon



At least two species and several subspecies of krayt dragons exist.

The canyon krayt is a common species of krayt dragon that lives in the rocky caves and canyons of Tatooine's desert ranges. More often than not, the term "krayt dragon" refers to this lifeform. Patterns of horns and spikes appears to vary from individual to individual. At least one canyon krayt was noted to have a two pronged tail.

The greater krayt, is a rarer, larger species of krayt dragon, known for its tremendous size and continual growth over time. Creatures of near legendary status, greater krayt dragons have ten legs, measure at least 100 meters from snout to tail tip and have the ability to move through or on Tatooine's desert sand. Greater krayt dragons attack with their massive jaws or whip-like spike-tail, using their claws only to move through the sand.

In spite of its awesome power, the krayt dragon does have its weak and exploitable points. First, it has trouble resisting the allure of the prey of the Dune Sea, specifically the bantha; second, it has difficulty discerning two-dimensional images, often attacking shadows; and finally, a well-placed shot can bore right through the weak sinus cavity of the beast and hit the brain, killing it instantly.

The krayt can also secrete a lethal venom, either through its teeth or its spines. Although its nature is unclear, numerous underworld characters have admitted to using the substance to kill enemies.
