Mantellian Savrip/Legends

"They're delicious"

- Omnino on savrips

The Mantellian Savrips were a species of large, sentient natives to Ord Mantell. They had hunched-over statures, leathery skin, snake-like heads, and arms long enough to drag on the ground.

Often believed to be simply a very cunning non-sentient animal by many other species, the Savrips were actually a sentient but very technologically primitive species. They even had their own informal language. The Savrips were also among the longest-lived species in the Galaxy, with average lifespans topping one thousand standard years.

Savrips were natually inclined to combat, and this, coupled with their unusual language, only fostered the notion that these beings were unintelligent. Because of this, many were hunted or exported, and, by the time of the Galactic Empire, few Savrips remained on Ord Mantell.

Savrip meat was also enjoyed by some, such as Baroness Omnino, who, with her son, planned to breed them for food on Ord Mantell. However, the plan failed.

The Mantellian Savrip was also a dejarik holomonster.

The Savrip known as Kalharr was known to live on Tatooine. One Mantellian Savrip joined Darth Krayt's new Sith Order.
