Wampa/Legends

Wampas are a horned, white, ape-like species who reside on the frozen world of Hoth. They are a semi-sentient race that subsists in the cold climate by hunting taun-tauns and other such creatures.

Luke Skywalker had a famous encounter with a wampa in the film The Empire Strikes Back, which resulted in the wampa losing an arm.

In the EU novel Darksaber, Luke Skywalker, his love interest at the time, and a group of big-game hunters again came into contact with the now one-armed wampa, as well as a horde of his angry brethren. Luke and his girlfriend, Callista, barely escaped from the encounter, while all of the poachers were far less fortunate.
