Dewback troopers,[4] also known as Dewback Riders,[5] were sandtroopers who utilized dewbacks as mounts. They used jolts of electricity to control the beast, forcing them to batter down the property of those opposed to the Galactic Empire.[4] In addition, Dewback troopers were known to utilize flamethrowers.[5]
