The massiff was a domesticated species used for sentry and guard tasks, used by the Tusken Raiders of Tatooine and on other planets. During the Clone Wars, ARF troopers trained them as trackers.[4] At least one massif was used by a member of Grand Army of the Republic, accordingly nicknamed "Hound." It was used to track Jedi Ahsoka Tano on Coruscant.

The creature used its spines for defense and had excellent large eyes that were useful in darkness.[2]

Behind the scenes

The massiff originated from a concept design of the orray.[5] In particular, the massiff adapted the aggressive and menacing appearance of early orrary concepts.[6] The Massiff was deemed too vicious-looking for simple back animals, so it became a dog-sized lizard that was to attack Obi-Wan Kenobi in a scene cut from Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. After this scene was scrapped, the massiff was transported to Tatooine to serve as guard dogs for the Tusken Raiders, replacing a creature design originally called "faybo".[5]
