Veldt

Veldts were the natural habitats of early death dogs.

Behind the scenes
Veldts were mentioned in Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas, a book published in 1993. Lucasfilm employee Leland Chee, who maintains the Holocron continuity database, has indicated that information contained in the book is non-canonical.

In real life, the term veld, sometimes spelled veldt in English, is a generic term used to define certain wide open rural spaces of Southern Africa.
