- "You are a Mandalorian. Your ancestors rode the great mythosaur."
- ―Kuiil scolds the Mandalorian
Mythosaurs were a type of creature that was once ridden by members of Mandalorian society.[1] In around 9 ABY,[2] the Ugnaught Kuiil[3] was training the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin to ride blurrgs on[1] the planet Arvala-7[3] and scolded him when he tried to give up, reminding him of the fact that his ancestors rode mythosaurs and that blurrgs were easier to ride.[1] Its skull was one of the traditional symbols of Mandalorian iconography,[4] and some Mandalorian armor bore the distinctive symbol.[5]
Behind the scenes
Edit
Mythosaurs were first mentioned in the current Star Wars canon in Chapter 1 of The Mandalorian, a television show that began airing in 2019.[1] The species originates in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where they were created for the 1982 comic book Star Wars 69: Death in the City of Bone, which was written by David Michelinie.[6]
