- "You are a Mandalorian! Your ancestors rode the great Mythosaur."
- ―Kuiil scolds the Mandalorian
Mythosaurs were a type of creature that were allegedly tamed[1] and ridden[2] by ancient Mandalorians.[1] In around 9 ABY,[3] the Ugnaught Kuiil[4] was training the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin to ride blurrgs on[2] the planet Arvala-7[4] 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.[2] Its skull was one of the traditional symbols of Mandalorian iconography,[5] and some Mandalorian armor bore the distinctive symbol.[6] A mythosaur skull hung from one of the walls in Dok-Ondar's Den of Anitquities in Black Spire Outpost, Batuu.[7]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Mythosaurs were first identified in the current Star Wars canon in Chapter 1 of The Mandalorian, a television show that began airing in 2019.[2] 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.[8]
