Luke's Wampa

A wampa ice creature attacked Luke Skywalker on Hoth shortly before the battle there in 3 ABY. While knocking him out, he gave Skywalker a scar he would carry for the rest of his life, despite bacta treatment. After eating his tauntaun, the wampa prepared to east Skywalker; however, Skywalker escaped by using his lightsaber to cut off the wampa's arm.

The wampa appeared to be sentient, as in the succeding years he became head of a band of other wampas, organizing them into a group capable of attacking the hunters who arrived on the world, even devising how to stealthily break into Echo Base. When Skywalker returned to Hoth in 12 ABY, the wampa recognized him, and tried to kill him again.
