Tyrant rancor

Tyrant rancors were rancors of gargantuan proportions. They live mostly in the plains and deserts of the remote world of dathomir, and, of all rancors, are the least exported. An adult tyrant rancor can reach 20 metres in height, and can weigh up to 20 tonnes, making it the largest rancor in existence and possibly one of the largest land predators in the galaxy. The tyrant rancor is an active predator, and (for its size) a skilled hunter. It will bring down reptilian qwerton bathers, large flightless lirsk birds, herd-dwelling barans and even their smaller rancor cousins. Smaller prey will include chipkawl (deer like animal), fish, sloth like mansk and any sentient species it can catch. The tyrant rancor also acts as a scavenger, and even turns to cannibalism if there is a lack of food. The tyrant rancors mate in the dathomirian autumn, and form close familial bonds with their mates. Baby rancors are usually born as twins and each spend 2 years in their mother’s uterus before they are born. In the first year the growth of the fetuses will be anonymous to the female and to other animals around her. Only during the 2 final months will the babies suddenly put on a gigantic growth spurt, and will be born 4 metres tall. They will then spend 20 years growing before they reach their full size, but will still be bonded with their family. Unlike their smaller cousins, adult tyrant rancors often stray thousands of kilometers from other members of their family- but will still remain emotionally attached to them.

Tyrant rancors have not been exported to other worlds as much as other rancor breeds/species because they are rare, extremely difficult to capture and transport and almost impossible to tame (due to their intelligence). Crossbreeds from the tyrant rancors are even rarer, and extremely expensive. If one crosses a jungle rancor with a tyrant rancor, one will have the weird looking parrot rancor, an exotic breed that costs millions of credits. Like many other rancor species, tyrant rancors are often used by crime lords as methods of disposing unwanted guests and enemies.
