Draigon

Draigons were an avian species native to an unidentified Mid-Rim planet. They ate fish from the oceans of their world, although this did not make up their diet entirely.

In 44 BBY, Obi-Wan Kenobi, along with many Offworld Mining workers, were aboard the ship Monument when the craft crashlanded on the draigon homeplanet. At first, Obi-Wan and Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn believed the draigons to be harmless; however, later they realized this was not the case. Whiphid thugs, under orders from their Offworld Mining Corporation superior Grelb (who himself was following orders from his own boss, Jemba), tried to shoot Qui-Gon down from a cliff he was scaling in an attempted recovery of stolen dactyl hidden inside a cave in the cliffside. The blaster bolts began driving the draigons to the point of hysteria, but in their concentration and glee the Whiphids failed to notice

Eventually Grelb noticed that his underlings were being eaten by the now frenzied draigons. Although he tried to escape the avian predators by squeezing into a small crevice, the Hutt was subdued and devoured.
